When James Hywel is asked by his publisher to write another children's book, you'd be right in thinking it would be the easiest thing in the world. After all, he has written over twenty books without any problems - until now! Because now, his characters have their own ideas and start dictating how a book should be written. Chaos soon reigns in his study as the characters take charge, no matter how much authority James tries to wield. This story highlights why authors should never work with children, animals, Elves or Unicorns!The process James has used in this book in making himself the character in the story is called Self-insertion and has been used by several authors including Stephen King (Books six and seven of the Dark Tower anthology), Jonathan Ames (The Alcoholic), W. Somerset Maugham (The Razor's Edge), Bret Easton Ellis (Lunar Park) and Geoffrey Chaucer (The Canterbury Tales).(Suitable for children aged 8+)
