About the Author

About the Publisher

The Office with the big desk in

Dear Mum and Dad,

Please please please PLEEEZ don’t make me come home to Murkshire to live in the Lair with you and Smells. Whyo Y can’t I stay here in Frettnin Forest with Yeller, Stubbs and Normus? Because we like being detectives, it is good. Stubbs has made us posh badges with his clever beak like this saying YFDA (for Yelloweyes Forest Detective Agency, did you know that?).

Also on our door he has done a nice new sing sine notice saying:

We are good solvers but not Smells. His brane is 2 small plus he did not want to be in the YFDA. He got all feddup and lairsick remember? That is Y he came back to Murkshire to live in the Lair with you, then he could be your darling baby pet, yes? So not my fault.

Go on, make him stay there, we do not want him back, messing up our detective stuff. Like sitting on the fingerprint pad and doing bottomprints on my notebook. Also, he is selfish saying nobody else can be the handcuffer, only him.

Go on.

Yours hopingly,

Little Wolf
