Edward has a special toy named Constance Hardpenny. She might have been found in a rubbish bin but she is his favourite.

Strife for Constance is never far away even after being rescued from the bin.

Stuck in a tree one day and lost in the rain the next. Snatched by a four legged creature then many two legged ones! Constance Hardpenny is never far away from peril.

But Edward has a hero that looks out for him and Constance, and she’s always ready to embark on a rescue mission. At last (we hope) Constance Hardpenny has finally found a safe place to be.

A tale of danger, heroes and sibling love captured in minimal words.

Emma Chichester Clark’s illustrations capture a treasured toy’s trips into strife and back again, in her colourful but soft signature style.

A simply gorgeous tale of sibling love.
