Neptune and the Litter Louts
Another environmental wish-fulfilment yarn. When the sea god retreats to his summer palace for a holiday, he is dismayed to find it fouled with the noise, sewage, oil and litter emanating from a holiday development on the coral island. The millionaire responsible is dragged underwater for some vigorous re-education, but it takes more than one lesson before the island is restored to its pristine state. This is a brisk and vividly illustrated story, handling a depressing theme with humour and optimism. A stimulating story book for newly independent readers.
