The Elusive Grasshopper brings us to Rye, for a bit of background research.

Jon and Penny travelled back to Rye with a new friend, Arlette Duchelle, on her first visit to England. During the journey they saw their an enemy again; and he is met at Folkestone by someone else they have reason to remember. They invite David Morton and the twins, Dickie and Mary, from Witchend to join them for the remainder of the holidays, and before long are in the thick of a terrific adventure.

This, story is set against a real background of Romney Marsh, with its reed fringed dykes and solitary churches and farms, as the Lone Piners did in their search for the elusive Grasshopper we too have come to explore the mystery of the marsh lands......

Countdown to the Shap weekend
