2013 - raise a glass of Bubbly (and Squeak)



An exciting year stretches a head full of challenges and daring tight-rope walks. New things, wonderful things, and a year in which I'll be facing a few dreams and trying to make them come true. More on those events anon. But what better way of illustrating the metaphor than with news of a new book for 2013.

A tight-rope walk. A dream come true, and definitely something to toast with a glass of Bubbly: Please let me introduce you to Bubble & Squeak!

I'm responsible for the words, and together with that wonderful illustrator Clara Vulliamy, a feast of friendship and frolics has been fashioned, due to be served in May! There will be a whiff of grease-paint. There will be names in lights and bouquets. There will be danger and daring and dancing girls. I won't tell you more yet... but I'm very excited and I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

  1. It all sounds incredibly exciting, James, and well deserved it is too. Kids are going to love Bubble & Squeak, as will the parents. As for Katie on stage, hope she will go on tour...
