My friend Paul Ferris will be in Newcastle (October 18th) talking about his very eventful life and brilliant books, The Boy on the Shed, and The Magic in the Tin. Paul has an amazing story to tell. I know from experience that he talks every bit as well as he writes. Guaranteed to be entertaining. Good luck Ferra.
