 Heron's Island By G. Dewi Roberts With over 40 line drawings and wrapper design by GEOFFREY WEDGWOOD, R.E. This sequel to The House that was Forgotten, a story for young children under twelve, chronicles the further adventures of Heron, Cat, Rabbit, Jock the sheepdog, and Wilding the red outlaw cat. Forced to leave 'The House that was Forgotten,' The Happy Family takes up residence on a small island in- habited by puffins. Heron's Island tells the story of the many strange adventures which were in store for them in their new home. Mr Roberts's five animals are all clearly naturalized citizens, and the spirit of their story has been brilliantly interpreted by Geoffrey Wedgwood in a series of fanciful drawings, in which it seems the most natural thing in the world that Cat should wear coat and trousers and even goggles when piloting his sea-plane. llerorfs Island, like The House that was Forgotten, has already been broadcast as a dialogue story, and earned the compli- ment of being repeated in Request Week.
