In a mansion surrounded by lakes and forests, Frederick leads a very sheltered life. When Emily invites him to play outside he has no choice but to refuse. What if he hurts himself? Much better to stay safely indoors. But Emily is not one to take no for an answer. Told in a series of funny and evocative letters between Frederick and Emily, and beautifully illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark, this is a story about friendship and the delights of outdoor adventures (even for the accident-prone).
