Help!! What is Town Mayor Roxie to do when she loses something very precious to her and indeed, the whole town..? Just before she’s ready to give up, along comes a small, magimistical bear called Strumbold… This is the story of their adventure - about love, keeping promises and finding magic in everyday stuff. It’s a book to be read out loud to the special (big and small) people in your life. Amongst the kerfuffle, confusion and difficulties of living in our world today… this story will help you remember that there are still simple, important things like friendship, kindness, cake and a Festival of Teddy Bears.

Buckingham Literary Festival

I am excited to announce that I am going to be running a session for our local festival in June. The location will be the Chantry Chapel. The date and time are 14 June at 2.30pm. 

You can book the session as a friend of the Festival now via this link: https://bucklitfest.littleboxoffice.com/events/109048 

And it's FREE!! 

All children (and their parents/carers) welcome - bring teddy bears too! 

I will be talking about how I came to write the book, reading a few chapters and answering any questions that people (big and small) might have. 

My book is "dedicated to all the big people who still believe there is magic all around us, and the small people who know it’s there". And this session will be similarly dedicated! 

The whole programme - with some amazing authors in attendance can be found here:
