Arthur and Me
Accident prone Tomos is dreading the school trip, where the awful bullies will pick on him as usual. When he falls down a hole and accidentally wakes the sleeping King Arthur things seem to be looking up. An ancient hero to sort out the bullies for him! But Arthur is not exactly as the history books claimed. He’s nervous, can’t ride a horse and all his knights pick on him. If Tomos is going to solve his problems he’s going to have to help Arthur and that means dealing with twelve grumpy knights, not to mention the dread Chicken of Doom……

Libraries are brilliant and a fantastic way to access so many books. I loved going to my local library as as a child and reading many, many (many…) books. I am thrilled that people can read books that I have written. ❤️❤️❤️
