My
Friend TertiusAuthor: Corinne Fenton
Illustrator: Owen Swan
Publisher: Allen and Unwin
ISBN: 9781760113827
RRP: A$24.99
A delightful and heartwarming picture book about a WWII
code-breaker and his pet gibbon, from best-selling creators Corinne Fenton and
Owen Swan.
One question kept
echoing in my mind - if I had to leave, what would I do with Tertius?
This is the true story of two lives brought together by chance. Arthur Cooper, working in intelligence for the British Government in pre-war Hong Kong, rescues a small gibbon and names him Tertius. Together they escape to a safe place - but is it for always?
