Geoff Dunbar is one of the world's finest animation directors.Among his many awards for film and television,Geoff has received 2 BAFTAs,a Palme d'Or at Cannes,a Golden Bear at Berlin,a Grand Prix at Ottawa and La Spiga d'Ore at Valladolid.
Philip Ardagh has written over sixty children's books and is probably best known for his best-selling 'Eddie Dickens' trilogy,currently translated into over 25 languages.
Forced to leave his woodland home,destroyed by the expansion plans of the evil Gretsch,Wirral the squirrel vows to find the fabled land of Animalia,where all animals are said to live in freedom and without fear.Aided and abetted by Froggo the hot-air-ballooning frog,Wilhamina the plucky red squirrel,and Ratsy the streetwise rodent,Wirral's personal quest turns into a full-blown plan to save enslaved animals everywhere.A plan which is fraught with danger.
Exciting,fast and funny,this lavishly illustrated adventure will delight children of all ages.
