Henrietta P. Hoppenbeek the First has a brother who is probably the size of a sewing machine, a mad brown dog called Madge, a best friend called Olive Higgie, a woolly mammoth, and a big bad habit of making things up.
Henrietta can do lots of things, such as becoming a duelling rhinoceros and turning her dad's undies into an absolutely superb hat.
Her baby brother Alfred gets on her nerves but one day she might let him share her adventures.
Henrietta is a captivating glimpse into the world of a little girl with a very curly imagination, sure to be enjoyed by adults and children who love Eloise and Clarice Bean.
