What a delight to visit this gorgeous independent bookshop in Chapel-en-le-Frith the other day! “Reading Matters” had long been on my list of places to go and had been recommended to me recently by several ladies at the High Peak Luncheon Club. It was wonderful to meet the owners, Lyndsay and Sue, and to witness their enthusiasm for books and for my own three titles too. They are now stocking all three: Alfie’s Story, Fearless Flynn and Arkwright the Duck.
This young fan had “Alfie’s Story” bought for him last year by his grandparents. His grandma wrote to me recently to tell me that, for the last few months, he has asked for the story almost every night as his bedtime read. He also sleeps with the Alfie cat toy. Grandma sent me this photo…
We received these lovely pictures and email recently from a very satisfied 9-month-old customer – well, from her Mum, of course. “She has all of a sudden become obsessed with Alfie, kissing him and hugging him all day long and she won’t let him leave her side.

We were recently at this lovely little craft fair at Heaton Fold garden centre in Bolton when Laurence came in from the car park to buy some sausages for tea. However, when he saw our books, he decided to spend his money on an illustrated children’s storybook for his little boy. So he bought Arkwright…

My next book, “Owl to the Rescue”, is due to be published next month (October 2019), but the character soft toy – our heroic owl – has flown in ahead of the book and is already going down a storm with customers, young and old alike. Anyone who wants their own cuddly owl needs to…
