A heartwarming tale about bravery, unexpected friendship and helping others, for ages 3-6
“Next to the track by the railway bridge line, Ferdinand Fox sat biding his time. A few moments later, the sound he well knew; the 6.10 from London, approaching on cue…”
When Ferdinand Fox hears a cry for help near the railway track, he leads rescuers to a lost little boy. But will anyone realise who the real hero is? This fun rhyming story, inspired by a fox I once saw trotting up the steps to the station platform, shows young readers that heroes come in all shapes, sizes – and species!
Ferdinand Fox and the Lost Boy has been sitting in the virtual drawer for far too long and I am thrilled that the story is finally seeing the light of day. With the passing of years since the first two books, the time felt right for a style refresh and I am thrilled with Andrew Smith’s beautiful illustrations. I hope you and your children like them as much as I do!

Three more fox stories to come! 🦊🦊🦊
Ferdinand Fox and the Lost Boy is the third of six rhyming fox stories I wrote many years go when our boys were little. The first two: Ferdinand Fox and the Hedgehog, and Ferdinand Fox’s Big Sleep, offer gentle introductions to Ferdinand’s character and are firm favourites at school visits with children aged 3-5.
The remaining three stories, all great fun and continuing the ‘quiet hero’ theme that we see in Ferdinand Fox and the Lost Boy, are due out in 2025 and beyond. I can’t wait! 😊 🦊
