​
The Oonford detective agency by Daniel and Linda Wilkinson
​
In 2008 Linda’s nephew, Danny, sent her an email about a bunch of animal characters based on people he had worked with during his 20-year career on the trading floors of the City of London. Between them they have produced a children's book, The Oonford Detective Agency. This book has strong eco themes and is truly eccentric.

Review from Amazon *****
​
…I found the characters all quirky yet likeable and the villainess reminded me of a meaner version of Cruella De-Vil. I couldn't put the book down and finished it in one day. I enjoyed every page and the coloured illustrations in the middle section really helped me visualise Bungler Bear, Harmen Hare and the greedy Dog Mutson and in fact I could see this story making a great animated movie…
