Black Whiskers and the River Dammed John Williamson

In the second of the Black Whiskers adventures, we follow the otter pirate and his crew as they battle a brand new enemy. As the fur begins to fly and the odds stack up against our heroes, the threat of an ancient enemy looms over the whole of Wingtangleshire. This is quite as action packed as the first of the series, meeting new characters on both sides. This time we get to know the crew a bit better, as well as seeing the softer side of the grizzled old pirate, who has somehow been entrusted with the title of 'defender against tyranny.' (These books are ideal for children easily bored by slower moving stories.)
