Book description
Hamish is a mountain goat, and so are all his friends. But Hamish is
frightened of climbing mountains, and makes excuses to stay behind every
day, when his friends go into the hills. Until one day, he hears a cry
for help, and only he can save the day. Born in Warwickshire, England,
W. J. Corbett joined the Merchant Nav as a galley-boy when he was
sixteen and saw the world. Later, during National Service, he became an
Army Physical Training Instructor. Now living in Birmingham, the author
has also worked as a a factory hand, furniture mover, building-site
labourer and dishwasher. His first book, The Song of Pentecost, won the
prestigious Whitbread Award.
