Illustrated by
Fred Marcellino.
Bagley Brown Jr., a modest weasel, has two problems: he feels he can never equal his beloved, heroic father's memory, and he loves hopelessly--instead of a lady weasel--a fish named Bridget. His zealous attempts to save Bridget from a horrible fate, assisted by various weasel friends, ultimately prove him a hero in his own right. An unusual animal fantasy with delightful illustrations.
