The Abominables

A classic from beloved author Eva Ibbotson - now with

an updated cover from celebrated illustrator, Jamie Littler.

How do you smuggle a family of yetis from Tibet to

England?

When Agatha Farlingham is kidnapped by a yeti on a mountain in

Tibet, she soon discovers that the hairy monster is clever and noble.

His children are in danger from the modern world and he needs

her help. She sends them on a top-secret journey to England and the

safety of her ancestral home.

But first she must teach them some manners. . .

A rollicking adventure from the extraordinary imagination of

one of Britain's most beloved storytellers.

This early Iva Ibbottson novel, never submitted for publication,

contains all the trademark qualities that made

Eva's subsequent books so successful; comedy, loveable and eccentric

characters, perfectly-crafted plotting, and inspiring themes

of tolerance, kindness to animals, and the defeat of cruelty.
