The Safari Bus: A Monkey, a Memory, and Sixty Years of Tandle Hill

**The Safari Bus** Grandad's taxi gets a summer upgrade — and the maiden voyage does not go entirely to plan. Stanley takes the great-grandchildren to Knowsley, meets a monkey with strong opinions about wing mirrors, and lives to tell the tale.
