Nick Marshall was inspired to write Tidley Squeak from a comment his late father made whilst walking on the family farm in Oxfordshire. A worried-looking rabbit dashed past them, zigzagged around a patch of nettles and disappeared through a gap in a hedge. ‘Oh dear,’ commented the old farmer. ‘Someone’s late for school!’ Further, Tidley Squeak’s adventures are afoot, with plenty of close shaves, near misses and lucky escapes along the way.
