In the picture-book-pretty village of Whiskerville every October means two things: the Harvest Festival and Mrs Buttercup Badger’s towering Victoria Sponge. This year the cake—and the handwritten recipe passed down five generations—disappear moments before judging. Suspicions simmer, rival bakers sharpen their whisks, and gossip rises faster than a good Genoise. Luckily Whiskerville boasts Inspector Fernwhistle, the fox whose waistcoats are as sharp as his deductions. Joined by Pip, a mouse who can smell marzipan from a mile away, Fernwhistle delves beneath the village’s sugar-coated surface. Was it the steampunk pastry engineers seeking fame? The purist mole who believes baking should never meet machinery? Or a secret society that protects heritage recipes at any cost? What you’ll colour and read inside 30 single-sided illustrations on crisp 8.5″ square pages—no bleed-through. - A full novella told in bite-size chapter captions so you can read or colour in any order. - Bakeries, tea rooms, flour-dusted laboratories, underground recipe vaults, and a final Harvest hoedown beneath fairy-lit oaks. - No swearing, no gore—just whiskers, wit, and warm Victoria Sponge. Put the kettle on, sharpen your pencils and help Inspector Fernwhistle whisk justice to stiff peaks.
