Events

Events.

Corvid19 virus pandemic. The country is now in legally enforced isolation. Wecannot plan any events at present. I was hoping to list events where Davey would be present, but I think all such mass meeting events will be cancelled this summer 2020.

There is good news however, Book 4 has arrived in the post this morning. It is the "proof" copy and now goes to proof readers for mistakes, and modifications. Once that is done, (about a week) I will order the print run.

I had hoped to have the book on the website by Easter, but the printers have advised another week so certainly by the end of April.. It matches the format of the previous three books and is "Davey and the Big Red Machine". Once again the charming illustrations by Mary Oldham bring the storey to life.

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
