From the author: 'Last year I entered a competition to pitch an idea to a panel of judges aimed at improving mental health. I entered hoping to persuade the audience and panel that my new children's book 'The Quangle Wangle's Back!' might help join up the generations through reading and rhyme, given the older generation are likely to have read poems by Edward Lear in their youth and by using the new book they could introduce Edward Lear's amazing creativity to a new generation of children. I was lucky enough to be among the winners on the night.'
