Book:The marzipan pig:2020 Book
Author: Hoban, Russell
Author: Blake, Quentin
Year: 2020
Language: English
Type: Book
Publisher: Walker Books
Physical or Electronic: Physical
Note: Originally published: London: Jonathan Cape, 1986 Fallen behind the sofa, nobody hears the lost marzipan pig's cries for help. And, after many months, a mouse discovers him and eats him up, having never known such sweetness. But a longing to be loved passes from the marzipan pig to the mouse - who goes on to find the kind face and reassuring tick tick tick of a grandfather clock. And so begins a curious chain of events featuring a dancing owl, a glowing taxi meter, a buzzing bee and a pinky-orange hibiscus flower - all triggered by the little lost marzipan pig. Each encounter more wonderful and more romantic than the last, just how far will the marzipan's sweetness travel?
