A lovely adventure from my childhood
28 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Three young boys run away from home because they are tired of doing homework and brush their teeth everyday! A strange young takes them with him in his boat to the sea. One day they discover a desert island, - at least that is what they think... The boys are left on the beach, and they soon find a house that hasn't been used for a long time. They live happily on the island, thinking that they are alone, until some things start to disappear, and other things appear in strange places... It is Mr Button and his housewife who lives on the other other side of the island. Mr Button is a passionate grasshopper collector, and now he has lost one of his most valuable insects...

I remember this series with pleasure, and wish they would send it again on TV. The music was great, the story exciting, and I have read the book for many of my pupils, as the story still seems to fascinate children of all ages.
