‘HENRI AND THE ALIEN’


Henrietta’s life is different to that of her school pals – her purpose is to serve her unloving parents as a dutiful daughter by cooking their meals, washing up and carrying out all the household chores.

One day, Henri’s life is turned upside down with the discovery that her grumpy dad and her pampered mum are not her real parents… and are thinking of sending her away to a home.

That’s when her tears of sadness are picked up on a supersound receiver by Eanie Meanie – a green, tentacled alien and together they embark on a strange and perilous adventure which takes them far away from the Earth!

This is a hilarious book that follows Henri's magical adventures through time and space.

Animation Production Companies have recently shown interest.

I have been beavering away for a few months now producing a screenplay script for this story. It is about time I picked up again on negotiations. The film version is similar to "Time Bandits / Alice in Wonderland" with animated backgrounds and characters to get around the fantasy scenes and characters. This is one of those unique films like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. If it gets the go ahead it should in three years be a feature at Christmas time.
