Stories from the Cockpit by Andy Campbell

The "Trini children's classic in the making" soon available online in a beautiful softcover version!

From Grommit, the vulture that falls first from its nest and then in love with a human lady; to Squirrel Coconuts, who ends up by mistake in the hold of a plane and has to find his placy in Hyde Park in London; to a little boy who becomes a castaway on a little deserted island and has to engage a flock of pelicans to carry him back home: these happy, adventurous children stories are unmistakingly written by a pilot!

7 x 10", 124 pages in colour, softcover
Illustrations by Andy Campbell and Jean Claude Salvatori
Photographs by Alice Besson and Noel Norton
ISBN 976-8054-46-8
