The Snorgh Sets Forth

I've blogged a little bit about my children's book The Snorgh and the Sailor over the past few months, but I've just realised that I haven't yet written an official blog post on the subject. So allow me, somewhat belatedly, to introduce the Snorgh, who has now left the marshlands of his inception and is currently setting out on adventures of his own. He's already got as far as Finland and Germany, as well as popping up in various bookshops here in the UK.

The illustrations are by Thomas Docherty, who is a truly brilliant artist, and the Snorgh has already gleaned some absolutely wonderful reviews and endorsements from the likes of Julia Donaldson ("Outstanding—adventurous and quirky") and the Birmingham Post ("a book to treasure"). You can find out more at Snorgh.org or, even better, you can go to your local bookshop and get yourself a copy. Failing that, Amazon may do the trick.

There will be a launch party for the book in a couple of weeks, here in Leicester. It will be in the Crumblin' Cookie on April 26th from 7.30pm. It's a free event, with readings and fun and music from the tremendous Nathalie Squance, so do come along if you are in Leicester.
