AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Piggotts are all dreamers, scoundrels or just plain whacky - except for the youngest, eleven year old Bert Piggott. Now the council are trying to evict the Piggotts from their once beautiful mansion, Piggott Place. So it's up to Bert and his friend Antigone (the would-be star of stage and screen) to save the Piggott's ancestral home.

'Who is the lady with the parrot pants?

'Why do the police loathe the Piggotts?

'Will Bert ever come to terms with his crazy family?'
