Hello and welcome to the official blog of The Littlest Detective



This website will take you through many of the places that Clemmy Bird visits and mentions, and tell you a little about them.

Let’s start with Littlest Detective in London. So many amazing places are featured in the book, but how much do you know about Clemmy’s London?

Here’s some a taster of what’s to come.

We discover that something called New Scotland Yard has information about Natasha Commonov being in boarding school in Slakistan, but what do you know about New Scotland Yard? And if there is a New Scotland Yard, what happened to the old one?

Clemmy loves to whiz along the Broadwalk of Kensington Gardens on her scooter, but what else is there to do in Kensington Gardens? And what’s it connection with Hyde Park?

Natasha plots to tie her poor, pathetic henchman Hench to the hands of Big Ben, but did you know that Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, and not the clock tower itself? And do you know who it’s named after?

Horatio Bird takes his daughter to a restaurant nearby the Globe Theatre. What other famous places are there by the Globe? And did you know that the first theatre burnt down in two hours because the thatched roof was accidentally set on fire during a performance in 1613 and that this is a modern copy. But how modern is it?

This website will be armed with everything:

  • History and interesting facts about all the locations in the book
  • Great photos to show you what these places look like
  • Things to do in London so you can take your own Littlest Detective tour (and how to get there)
  • Your reviews of the book, to show that we really do take what you tell us seriously!
  • And then we move to Paris with Clemmy and the gang and tell you all about the great locations in that book.
Suzy Brownlee will also answer any questions you might have about the story - unless of course they have to do with future story lines and what happened to Clemmy’s mum. Sorry if you are dying to know – all will be revealed soon enough. Feel free to email us with your questions at littlest.detective@googlemail.com

We also welcome comments from blog followers and casual readers of the site - it gives us direction regarding the kind of content kids (and possibly adults) are after.

So once again, we welcome you to the Official Blog of the Littlest Detective, and ask you to check back next week for the next instalment.
