The first story about Arabel and her pet raven Mortimer. In Arabel's Raven, Mr Jones, while driving his taxi, notices something bedraggled in the road. He stops and discovers an injured raven. He takes it home and his four-year-old daughter Arabel falls in love at first sight. 'His name is Mortimer,' she announces and Mortimer has found a home. A series of thefts and a robber quarrel are only two of the dramas in this delightful tale in which Mortimer and Arabel find their ways straight to the reader's heart.

About the Author:

JOAN AIKEN, the daughter of the American poet and  novelist Conrad Aiken, was an immensely popular and prolific  author who wrote over a hundred novels for adults and children.  The creator of the stories about Arabel and her pet raven Mortimer,  originally written for the BBC's Jackanory series and which have  been televised on the BBC, she also wrote wonderful, quirky novels,  full of humour and the unexpected.  The Wolves of Willoughby Chase  won the 1964 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and was made into a film.  Joan Aiken was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature in 1999. She died in 2004.

QUENTIN BLAKE  is one of the best-known illustrators of our time, and his books with a wide range of authors, including Joan Aiken, Russell Hoban, Michael Rosen and Roald Dahl, have been treasured by generations of children throughout the world. In 1999 he became the first Children's Laureate. In 2005 he was awarded a CBE, and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration. Quentin lives in London.
