- No more sleeps! It's publication day for Penny Dreadful! This time her BRILLIANT IDEAS™ include turning over a NEW LEAF i.e. sawing Bridget Grimes in half, making a cake that is cooked with LOVE (and organic things and a plastic one-eyed horse), and absolutely not even THINKING about touching the stuffed walrus in the museum. And if you like Penny, or are just a fan of funny books, I'll be at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden on Wednesday 6th June talking about Penny (and various other menaces), and you can help me create a new character right there and then...
