APRIL 2009

RIBBLESTROP is the first childrens' novel that the agency has handled in our 22 years. Andy Mulligan, its debut author, used to teach my son which is how it came my way and it is the most glorious adventure and quite brilliantly written. It is published today by Simon and Schuster, who have an outstanding childrens' list and the first review - from Philip Ardagh in Saturday's Guardian describes it as

 'A blast of fresh air' and 'disgracefully dangerous high-octane fun of the highest order; an outrageous delight'.

 

Congratulations to Andy - and also on the great website launched today at www.ribblestrop.co.uk
