The
incredible Miss Pilkinson! The
concept behind this series is to
introduce young readers to different
cities and regions of Europe and the
world, their geography, their
monuments and the way of life of
their inhabitants. All this
without getting them bored, by
mixing such genres as witchcraft,
magic and intrigue. We will follow
the exciting adventures of three
extraordinary recurring characters :
Emma Pilkinson, an old eccentric
English lady with mysterious powers
and her nephew Jonathan, a young
Parisian aged 13. Not to mention the
mischievous Mister Tail, Miss Pilkinson's big cat who accompanies
her everywhere. Although the books
follow chronologically, each volume
can be read independently.

The first episode: Panic in Oxford
Street!
The action takes
place nowadays and in London, and
allows us to get acquainted with the
main characters: Emma Pilkinson, her
nephew Jonathan, Samantha, and the
cat Mister Tail. Not to mention
Henry, Jonathan's father, an awkward
man....
What the English think of the French
will amuse us, but then we'll
realise that many prejudices die
hard on both sides of the Channel.
We follow Miss Pilkinson and
Jonathan in a frenzied shopping
spree - literally! - on Oxford
Street and its department stores.
This will not be an easy ride, and
it will take all the supernatural
powers of our Miss (and her uncanny
ability to muddle things up) to sort
the situation out. Read
