The Night Mayor

1 November, 2016 James ForemanBooks

A long long time ago, when I was obsessed with everything Games Workshop touched, they started commissioning novels set in their not-quite-a-rip-off-of-Tolkien fantasy universe. One of the authors they recruited was Kim Newman, the massively-mutton-chopped[…]

Pony Scouts: At The Show

28 September, 201624 January, 2017 James ForemanBooks For Baby

Backhoe Joe

27 September, 2016 James ForemanBooks For Baby

Running With The Mind Of Meditation

Babar’s Celesteville Games

10 April, 2016 James ForemanBooks For Baby

Among the books that we borrowed from the library yesterday was a celebration of 80 years of Babar the Elephant books, which was actually five years ago. I apologise that it’s taken me so long[…]

Poems and cakes

7 April, 2016 James ForemanReading
