Zsolt Kerekes' books
Princess Laura and the Unsuitable Dragon Suitors
When young Princess Laura secretly rescues a baby dragon from her father's hunt the dragon predicts that one day alas she will be the cause of its death. What can she do to ensure that doesn't happen?
A modern fairytale for today's princesses.
Jamie and the Tree Troll - a new legend of the South Downs in Sussex
There aren't no such things as tree trolls! - said Jamie (7) when his uncle (that's me) said it was tree trolls who'd been stealing food from their backpacks whenever they went for picnics in the ancient woodland surrounding their cold house in Underhill Lane, perched part way up the North slope of the South Downs and a mere foggy walk betwixt Ditchling Beacon and the Jack and Jill windmills in Sussex.
In this tale you will learn what's really beneath the hill in Underhill Lane, some Saxon history concerning a long forgotten battle on Brighton beach, a myth of hidden gold and some real magic too.
My Pact with the Goblin Queen: B is for Brighton
Authors beware. Fear is the new quantum entanglement.
Alexander Woyte and the Pirates (and Goblins)
A much afeared Portsmouth pirate ship, frozen in an arctic storm 300 years ago, has melted free from the iceberg which entrapped it and is now running amok.
Alexander Woyte and the Goblins
No one believes in goblins any more, not even in the pretty little village of Privett in Jane Austen country (in Hampshire). But tonight goblins have kidnapped young Alex from his bunk bed. It's dark. The trail's getting cold. How do his family track the goblins and get him back?
the Goblins are Coming!
I'm thrilled to disclose that my long anticipated literary novel - the Goblins are Coming! - will be published in Q1 2025.
When asked (while I was still writing it in August 2024) to simply describe it - I replied in a tweet :-
"People believe what they read in books is true. So if you want to change the past and the future you only have to write the right book. (And hide all the others.)"
Circling around the inevitable future blurb which I'll have to write soon - I've said in other tweets that the theme is related to "historicide" a word I did not know most of the way through writing it - but then found in a blog written by the translator of a non fiction book I had been reading.
And libraries and the losses due their destruction comes into it too. A veritable book about books. But don't forget it's got "goblins" in the title too.
