This wacky raven eats everything in sight, answers the telephone by squawking ""Nevermore!"" and causes chaos wherever he goes--but Arabel loves her new feathered friend, whom she names Mortimer.

Mrs. Jones considers her nieces and nephews to be ""a spoiled lot."" Babies are pushed about in prams, and soot from the family's heating system falls into the hearth whenever Mortimer flies up into the chimney. Children (and their adult reading partners) will find great pleasure in these high-spirited engaging stories because the text is rich with wonderfully descriptive phrases as well as uniquely hilarious and witty situations. Fans of this classic story will picture a hairy-beaked raven squawking ""nevermore"" every time they hear a phone ring, and the thought of this crazy bird will be a delightful reminder of this fabulous story."... Show More
