This morning a Deadly package arrived through the post! Well actually it was a package of ‘Deadly’, the latest book from the team that brought you Poo!
Written by Nicola Davies and illustrated by Neal Layton, Deadly: The Truth About The Most Dangerous Creatures on Earth is published by Walker Books in November and should be available from all good bookshops and libraries soon…
Four of the books in my edition bagged up and ready to go…
…and the fifth book in the edition on display in the exhibition.
The gallery is above Southsea Library, so if you enjoyed the show why not pop downstairs and read one of Dickens’ books first hand – or visit his birthplace museum in Portsmouth.
A version of my book is also available for free download at my website.
Beyond Dickens is supported by Portsmouth University and Portsmouth City Council
