about the author

Frank Bristow grew up in the middle of Devon, in South West England, in a big house with plenty of land and surrounded by animals. He was also very lucky to be the youngest of four children and to have a father who owned a sweet factory, so you can imagine he had a wonderful childhood.On leaving school, he spent two years in London learning how to make all sorts of sweets and chocolates.While in London, he met Jane, his wife-to-be, and together, they continued to live in the house that Frank had grown up in.There they brought up their two daughters, who continued having even more animals!When Frank eventually retired, he spent more time writing, and following the publication of a short book called Sticky Stories from the Toffee Factory, he had the first book about The Bears of Bopplestone published.This next book, The Bears of Bopplestone – Book 2 – More Tails, is the second of the series, which, one day, you may see on film…

about the book

Bertie and Archie are real little bears. They are both ten, and their little friend Herbie is just seven, so he has to run very fast to keep up with them!After all the adventures of Book 1, this book begins with Archie going to school for the first time at the Little Bears’ School in the village of Bopplestone, high up in the mountain. Evidently, the three little bears put what they learn at school into practice and continue finding a way to make all little bears in the mountains happy again by building amazing works of engineering and generally getting into all sorts of adventures in the process!They still have to work undercover, as people don’t know about them yet. This is why keeping the ‘Secret of the Castle’ adds to their very important, and often exciting, projects."Which of my little scholars wants to start?" asked Miss Wiseman.Immediately, 48 little paws shot into the air!
