A cracking, humorous and nostalgic adventure/mystery novel for grown-ups, set in 1979, featuring those "Well Known" Kirrin cousins loved by many as children (Enid Blyton did not write this book). Now they are grown-up forty-somethings. Mrs Thatcher has just become Prime Minister, and Ford Capris rule the roads. Smooth entrepreneur Julian has big plans for Kirrin Island, and needs to convince Dick, Anne and George - not an easy job! George is as fierce and independent as ever, despite her teenage son. Her dog, Gary, is not at all like dear old Timmy! Anne has a perfect marriage and rather unusual twins, and Dick is still seeking success and the love of a good woman. Of course there will be temper tantrums, awkward children and mysterious lights at sea, but serious danger and old political secrets threaten the cousins. Touching, humoros and affectionate, this novel will delight anyone who wonders how their favourite characters might have grown up and coped in a changing world. Can adults ever really dip their toes into childhood rock pools?
