An exquisite story to delight readers young and old, from a much-loved writer and illustrator. What do you do if you find an abandoned seal pup on a rock in the middle of the sea? Well, take it home with you to your flat, of course. At least thats what Mr Albert Cleghorn thought, though perhaps he hadnt considered all the complications This is the story of what then happened to Mr Cleghorn and Charlie the seal in their determination to find a home for Charlie and, incidentally, happiness for them both. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Mister Cleghorns Seal is a classic in the making from the inimitable Judith Kerr.
