Stinky Hollow by Bottom Tops

I wonder have your parents ever taken you to Windy Haven by Twin Tops? No? Hardly surprising really, there’s nothing there but fresh air, a swimming pool and mini golf. But there is a secret that no-one likes to speak about and all kinds of rumours that in the dim and distant past Windy Haven was called Stinky Holllow and the Twin Tops were known as Bottom Tops (quite simply because that’s the way they looked!). But why Stinky Hollow?

Little King December

"From delight to melancholy, this fairy tale for adults and children is full of profound meaning and light-hearted wit, full of charm and shrewd insight. Michael Sowa's enigmatic illustrations reflect the enchanting atmosphere of the work. Perhaps everyone could use a little king and a whole lot of dreams, all neatly packaged."
