What is Quentin Blake’s Mrs Armitage on Wheels about?

Mrs Armitage is a brilliant and eccentric inventor whose wild and wonderful creations are always remarkably useful.

When she and her faithful dog Breakspear set off on a quiet bike ride to visit cousin Angela, she can’t stop thinking of ways to improve her bike. But after adding horns, snack trays, umbrellas, a dog bed and even a sail, will she ever get there?

It’s worth the applause!
