I am writing to congratulate you on your new book. I absolutely loved it. I read on the inside cover that Prince Of Fools is your first book for children and would like to implore you to write more.
Sam Lowe, Mottram.
I am writing to tell you how much I love your book. It’s absolutely brilliant! P.S. Max sounds like my sister!
