  • A poignant book about new horizons and saying goodbye from best-loved creators: John Burningham and Helen Oxenbury

    Miles is a difficult dog who loves to ride in his motor car. He's growing older, but a new challenge awaits when he takes to the skies.

    A picture book of beauty, infinite possibility, and love, which explores loss and grief in subtle and comforting ways.

    This is the award-winning author-illustrator John Burningham's last story - written by friend, Bill Salaman and illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.

Bill Salaman has enjoyed a varied career as professional musician, school teacher, university lecturer, inspector of schools, author and composer. He has also enjoyed a life-long friendship with Helen Oxenbury and her husband, John Burningham, rejoicing in their remarkable successes over the decades. He now lives in Cambridge, UK, the university town where he once studied as an undergraduate.
