Sherlock Ferret, the world's cutest detective, solves mysteries with the help of his friend Watson Mouse, and their friend Lestrade, who is a rhinoceros (though not a very big one). Together, they take on such nefarious characters as Moriarty Magpie, Colonel Sebastian Moorhen, Pablo Pigasso (yes,
that
Pigasso!), some scurrilous beasts from South America, and a mysterious photographer who is annoying Mr. Montague Mole.

Sherlock Ferret adventures are enjoyed by children between 7 and 11 - as well as being suitable for reading to younger children. Adults also enjoy the sly humour and the references to Sherlock Holmes.
