They have barely walked through the door when Brunswick's whiskers tingle with curiosity. Something is wrong - the museum's famous portrait of The Admiral doesn't look quite right. What can it be Using his famous powers of detection, Brunswick realises the awful truth - he is missing an eyebrow! Brunswick and Nelson set off on a page-turning romp through the museum to track down the missing eyebrow. To find the culprit, they will have to look high and low and search the paintings for clues...But in the end, even Inspector Brunswick is surprised by the result! Introducing a set of endearing and eccentric characters with fantastical humour, this first mystery in the Inspector Brunswick series zooms in on the subtle details that make every work of art unique and encourages us to look closer at the world around us.
'A rib-tickling tale . . . Drawing on the Victorian era, this story makes for a fabulous, farcical read, coupled with colourful, bustling spreads and a sumptuous gatefold, theres nothing we dont love about Inspector Brunswick.' Picturebooks blogger; 'This light-hearted mystery picture book with attractive illustrations is the first in a series about the art-loving pair of detectives. The gallery setting is a great way to introduce children to this environment, particularly if they are embarking on their own museum or gallery visit.' BookTrust
