Gastrodiskaboomeration!


Electromagnetitus!


Bamboozled!


The Very Long and Narrow A - Z Spelling Bee

A book i created to house my character, it was based on very long words taken from a variety of languages and was inspired by Walt Disney's, Sword in the Stone. I found that there use of language in all there films took me back to my early childhood. I wanted readers to be reminded slightly by this and also to be amused and maybe informed of a new word they'd never heard. The book was made to appeal to any age group; both interesting to kids and adults!
