The Red and White Spotted Handkerchief
By Tony Mitton


Jack wraps his last crust of bread in a red and white spotted handkerchief and sets off to seek adventure and along the way finds mermaids, dragons, magic keys and genies. Full of delightful poetry, this is a tale for anyone who has ever dreamt of running away.
