Events

Dulverton by Starlight December 5th. This went ahead but many events seemed to be cancelled. It was a lovely afternoon and evening. Lots of people, all very happy and a busy main street. Lots of books sold too so I hope many happy children when Santa arrived. Thanks to organisers, and customers. Hard work for me, but great fun and great Christmas spirit.

Most events will take place in 2022 hopefully. I will post dates.

Reader Feedback

Hi Alan,

Just a thankyou note for all your work in sending the books (to Australia) etc. They arrived a couple of weeks ago though haven’t had a chance to read them to all the grand kids yet. More inside time when the weather gets colder. If you ever bring out more Davey books please let me know. I’ll always be David Brown fan for sure.

Thanks again for your help, Cheers, David J.

"Davey to the Rescue"

I like this story even more than Waking up Davey. The expressions on the tractors are so convincing.

Lots to see in the illustrations.

Thankyou2
