Book Two reunites Morgan, Josie and Spike with Mr Milliner for a second summer.

The children receive word from Captain Cornelius, who just happens to be a pirate, that he would like them to join him aboard his ship - for lunch. Cornelius introduces his crew, finally getting to the parrot. "This be soup," he says, and Josie is concerned that the parrot is on the menu - but all will become clear.

The Ponderings of the Milliner reminds us of our childhood when we could step inside our own world, with imaginary friends, who were as real to us as the noses on our faces.

Throughout the story, James leaves the reader wondering where the line between imagination and reality is.

The Ponderings of the Milliner is a delightful story in the Magical Misadventures of Mr Milliner children's chapter book series. If you or your child like exploring creativity, and whimsical innocence, then you'll love James Hywel's wondrous tale of childhood.
