ESCAPE FROM COLD DITCH

Fleur's an unusual superhero because she's a hen - a free ranging secret agent who's given a mission to release hundreds of her sisters from their grim prison camp.  Fast moving action and humour abound in this classic satire. First published in 1995 and still in print. Wonderful cartoon-style illustrations by John Richardson, best known for his work on the Desperate Dan comic strip.  Audiobook version read by Joanna Lumley is now OP but this ebook edition introduces the title to the Kobo generation.
