Since her first arrival in this country 20 years ago Frances has been in and out of print in paperback with Faber and Puffin. Now, after a too-long absence she is back, this time with Hippo, and a new generation of children can delight in sharing experiences of insomnia, new babies, younger sisters, uncooperative friends with this lovable and very human young badger. Funny and observant: essential reading for families.
