Quentin Blake
Yoto Says: Quentin Blake turns his talent to narration to tell this kooky courting tale involving a flat full of tortoises and some back-to-front magic.
Mr Hoppy loves Mrs Silver.
Mrs Silver loves Alfie the tortoise.
Sometimes Mr Hoppy wishes he could become a tortoise. Until one day he finds a way to win Mrs Silver's heart, with the help of a little magic and some cabbage.
