Many thanks to anyone who chooses to share this. These are the last of the 53000+ books I bought from my ex-publisher Unbound earlier this year, after they stopped paying me and I took my rights back. We have 200-300 left and Jim would love to clear a bit of space in his room (he is very large).
If anyone would like one of these solely for the price of postage (& a bit extra of your choice but no problem if not), please email me and Jim at hello@tom-cox.com and let us know your address.
Stephen Fry called this book "hilarious" but what does he know? Don't trust him. Give it a go yourself.

Changed my mind. I'm now giving 100 of these away instead. I wonder if that might be possible, by next week, if this gets enough shares and hits the algorithm?
Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..

20years since Labyrinth was published and almost as many since I read it. Interesting to hear @katemossewriter.bsky.social talking about what brought the book to life. Carcassonne still on the bucket list too - need to do something about that!

It's still February - Just, which means that this brilliant scheme is still running. Buy any children's book - especially mine, of course, and 10% will go to the @booktrust.org.uk and the @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social
Both help get books into the hands of children.

I wrote this as a reminder to myself when I’m becoming too pessimistic about the world. Despair builds no movements. Hope however builds entire futures.

Struggling to get going this morning having stayed up until the wee small hours to finish this…who can stop with 70 pages to go!? A great, dark, folkloric read and happy the know @samkhorton.bsky.social has a sequel coming out later this year.
