About the Book:
A tender and humorous tale from one of the worlds best-loved storytellers. Esio Trot follows shy Mr. Hoppy, who lives alone and secretly loves his downstairs neighbour, Mrs. Silver. The problem? Mrs. Silvers affection is reserved for her pet tortoise, Alfie. With a clever plan involving a string of riddles and a growing collection of tortoises, Mr. Hoppy sets out to win her heart.
Witty, charming, and full of Roald Dahls characteristic mischief, this short novel captures both the silliness and sweetness of unexpected love.
