Arabel's Raven
1972
The first story about Arabel and her pet raven Mortimer. In Arabel's Raven, Mr Jones, while driving his taxi, notices something bedraggled in the road. He stops and discovers an injured raven. He takes it home and his four-year-old daughter Arabel falls in love at first sight. 'His name is Mortimer,' she announces and Mortimer has found a home. A series of thefts and a robber quarrel are only two of the dramas in this delightful tale in which Mortimer and Arabel find their ways straight to the reader's heart. This story was originally published in the collection, Tales of Arabel's Raven.

Mortimer's Tie
1976
When the Jones family is invited on a cruise to Spain onboard The Queen of Bethnal Green, they are obliged, of course, to take Mortimer along with them. But even they could not predict that things would go so wrong when Mortimer's favorite green tie is blown overboard and he would end up floating out to sea inside a grand piano.
#5
Mortimer and the Sword Excalibur
1979
This is the fifth title to be published by Barn Owl about Arabel and her beloved but impossible raven, Mortimer. An enormous hole is being dug in the park and rumor has it that King Arthur's round table is buried there. None of this interests Mortimer however; his fancy has been taken by the giant grass-cutting machine, the Lawn Sabre. Mortimer finally gets to work the machine but with disastrous consequences for the round table and the sword Excalibur! Another funny and outrageous story about Arabel and Mortimer from Joan Aiken and Quentin Blake.
