Keeping Henry is a heartwarming story about a cheeky squirrel set during World War Two by Nina Bawden, the beloved author ofCarrie's War . Perfect for animal lovers of all ages. 'One of Nina Bawden's best' - The Observer
'The hay stirred. There was a small nibbling sound. A furry head poked out . . . his eyes seemed alert and inquisitive, as if he were as interested in us as we were in him.'
Henry is only three inches long when he is catapulted out of his nest - a poor baby red squirrel. He is too young to survive being released into the wild, but can a squirrel be a pet?
Henry's new human family, fleeing from London during the Blitz, have made their home on a farm in Wales. Can Henry, who makes nests out of their clothes and runs up the children like they are trees, help them to settle into their new life?
