A heartwarming tale about a very special dog. Beautifully illustrated, it is the perfect Christmas gift.
One day, in the days when all the trains were driven by steam, a railway guard found something abandoned on a train...
Mr Ginger Leghorn is used to collecting up umbrellas and other lost property but he's never found a puppy on his train before. He has no intention of keeping it but his five children—Alfie, Arthur, Beryl, Sissy and Albert—have other ideas, and Jim is soon a much-loved, but often disruptive, member of the family.
Whether it's his feud with the cat, getting stuck in rabbit-holes, accidentally going to sea, accompanying the children to school or carol singing at Christmas, Jim has a knack of making himself the centre of attention. This little black and tan puppy with his small bright eyes and very waggy rump becomes something of a hero in his town, and even catches the eye of the King himself.
Station Jim is full of Christmas cheer for children and adults alike, and especially dog-lovers. It includes delightful pictures by celebrated illustrator Emma Chichester Clark, the creator of Plumdog.
