About this deal

Traditionally Deerhounds have the grey hair on their ears stripped back to the velvety-black under fur, but only one of Alfie's ears has been stripped, because, well, it hurt. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal.

Just when Alfie thinks that he is going to starve, he meets some wonderful friends, Sunset and Fixit Fox.

Perhaps best known for her classic Worst Witch stories, which she started writing when she was fifteen, she is also a hugely successful picture book author and illustrator.

Her first book, The Worst Witch, was published when she was 24 years old and became the first book in The Worst Witch series. Jödicke: "During the 20th century the Deerhound evolved to a single-coloured breed by selection for a grey coat. It is however a true sighthound which has been selected for generations to pursue game; consequently, most Deerhounds will be eager to chase. century Scottish paintings tend to indicate these colours were associated with a wire haired coat, but, with show breeders preferring a dark, longer coat, these genes now appear to be lost.

In coursing deer, a single Deerhound or a pair was brought as close as possible to red deer, then released to run one of them down by speed, which if successful would happen within a few minutes [4] — rarely were there successful sustained chases. We follow his adventures as he befriends a couple of foxes and tries to get back to his boy, Charlie. However, Jill continued working as a nanny until the publication of The Worst Witch Strikes Again prompted her to devote herself to full-time writing.
