Unique, Stupendous, Exciting! Ideal for 7 – 12 years olds, grown-ups love it too!

In this series of gripping adventure stories, the friendly creatures of Hopland, build ships, leave home, fight off kidnappers, discover their hidden talents and sometimes fall in love. Meet tearaway Ferret Lumbric, Ivy Glue the dreamer, George and Binky, thrill seekers (well Binky is), rivals Toasty and his brother Theodore and shy Crabiata.

“I can’t imagine any youngster not being charmed by this wonderful one-of-a-kind book.” Paul A Mendelson. BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and author.


About Lucy Francis

Having started off in fine art, I made my way from London to Suffolk and finished the stories during lock down when I was furloughed. After extensive mentoring, rewriting and much gnashing of teeth I finally held a copy of Hairy Tales of Hopland! in my hands. Writing Hairy Tales of Hopland! has been one of the best experiences of my life, so far, and certainly the most engaging. Why did I write it? To stave off the boredom of every day life, and once I started, I couldn't stop!
