Gaspard's friend Finty the dog and her owner Honey are travelling to a classical concert in London's Hyde Park - if only Gaspard could join them! But while good-naturedly attempting to return Honey's scarf, the most handsome fox in London suddenly finds himself on a tour through the city's streets aboard Finty's bus, and on his way to becoming...
In this thrilling third adventure from Zeb Soanes and award-winning illustrator James Mayhew, Gaspard's friend Finty the dog and her owner Honey are off to a classical concert in London's Hyde Park.
Whilst attempting to return Honey's scarf, the handsomest fox in London suddenly finds himself on a tour through the city aboard the Number 38 bus. He passes famous landmarks, including Museum Street, Chinatown, and the theatres of the West End, before arriving at Hyde Park for the Proms in the Park.
Here he finds himself thrust centre stage and becomes a musical inspiration when a familiar face steps out to lead the orchestra.
Gaspard's Foxtrot is a heart-warming tale that combines adventure, music, and the magic of London's vibrant backdrop.
