THE MAGIC ISLE OF TIPPETI-TOO
A fable in three parts that recounts the visits of seven year old David with his two pets, Tod the Tortoise and Bleep the Canary, to a magic island where he meets extraordinary and pleasure loving animals like Funny-face Roo a purple kangaroo, Mello-Werrydith a crimson feathery mouse, Lola the lavender blue crocodile that speaks only in rhymes, Diego the wise and gentle dragon, and many others, not forgetting Nam, the only human on the island, nor the Lake Lady, who imbues David with wisdom, but a wisdom which lasts only while he is on Tippeti-too. Each year, on his birthday, David can return there and have other thrilling, but also chilling adventures, like when he has to outwit the dreaded Xemians that threaten to invade the island, and also become a little wiser.
