The author, Noel Langley, sounded familiar so I checked wiki. He wrote one of my favourite childhood books, The Land of Green Ginger. I wonder if that's available as an ebook, too? I'd love to re-read it. I'll do some searching.

The illustrator also sounded familiar, so I checked up on him. He illustrated The Land of Green Ginger and another book I enjoyed many (many, ahem, many) years ago, Stig of the Dump.

I downloaded the 50-pct ePub sample of Desbarollda from Smashwords and I'm hooked.

Desbarollda's Dad claimed that he "could speak with authority on seven different kinds of cheese". hehe. This is real 'awww' material.

This is a beautifully laid out book. Well done, Paul, and thank you!

PS: Great reviews above (Evening Standard and dreams)!
