Story Time at Hong Kong Book Fair 2012 : Tough Boris & Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge (18/07/2012)
On hearing that his favourite person, ninety-six years old Miss Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper, has lost her memory, little Wilford Gordon McDonald Partridge sets out to find it for her.
But what's a memory? Little Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge doesn't know. How and what is he going to find for her?
Boris von der Borch is a mean, greedy old pirate – tough as nails, through and through, like all pirates. But is he just a tough pirate?
Come and join us at Mrs. Jan Mann's story time on two of her favourite Mem Fox's stories to find out what Little Wilfred has found for Miss Nancy and if Boris is really as tough as he seems.
