-------------------------------------------------
The first of an intended series about the two cars of the title,
Carol and Mickey, owned by the fictitious Townsend Family, the book is believed to be the first children's fiction book ever published in the United Kingdom to feature actual cars still in production. The stories are often based on events which have actually happened. The stories are in fact geographically and historically accurate, and the stories of
the series are also chronologically accurate.
--------------------------------------------------
The first book contains four stories ; "Carol Corsa and her
family", "Carol goes fruit picking"; "The Angry Tractor"; and "Mickey Morgan". A further 32 stories have been written in the series so far; contact the publishers regarding future publications. The book is illustrated throughout by Robert Hutchinson, with accurate and colourful pictures. Future stories include: "Carol Corsa is poorly"; (about the fear of being ill); "Carol goes to the seaside"; (Carol first hears about competitive hillclimbing);
"Mickey Morgan"; (How Mickey, damaged by his previous
owner, is restored); and "Carol goes to Hospital" (How Carol
feels helpless, but learns that she could help after all).
