About this listen

Ottoline is back! Ottoline and the Purple Fox is the fourth fantastical Ottoline adventure from 2015–2017 Children's Laureate and author of the Goth Girl books, Chris Riddell.

Ottoline and Mr Munroe love puzzles, clues and mysteries. One day, they meet an enigmatic purple fox, who offers to take them on a night-time urban safari. The fox shows them all the hidden animals of the city and Ottoline makes notes on them in her field notebook. Mr Munroe is making notes too - on the anonymous poems he finds stuck to lampposts on their journey . . .

Who is the secretive poet, and how can Mr Monroe and Ottoline help them mend their broken heart?

Ottoline and the Purple Fox is read by actress and comedian Ronni Ancona.

Critic reviews

Features plenty of illustrations, a steampunk aesthetic and great mystery. These books were designed originally for slightly older children to read themselves but my daughter and I devoured it over three nights. (Fran Yeoman)
A brilliantly imaginative and exciting book from start to finish!
A zany and entertaining story with plenty to appeal to children.
Chris Riddell’s illustrations are as dazzling as ever; it’s worth lingering over every page to revel in the fluency of his line and to look out for the myriad little details. Ottoline is a delight for readers of all ages.

Some books can only be listened to once!!!
