FICTION The Dappled Flap Warbler

A book to enchant and educate children

THIS delightful book by Alan John Carter carries the message of how powerful people can be overcome by the collective strength of opposition and, with Extinction Rebellion recently taking action against the Murdoch press, its publication has come at a very apposite time.

Written in rhyming couplets, The Dappled Flap Warbler’s narrative includes two baddies called Mudrock and Bloor, who bear an instantly recognisable and uncanny similarity to real-life villains.

The Dappled Flap Warblers love playing music and have amazing antennae on their heads and the  story tells of how they use their skills to defeat the mercenaries sent by Mudrock to prevent them from tuning into his TV channels for free.

Wonderfully illustrated by Carter’s daughter Emma Carter Bayfield, the book is notionally for children but contains references which will definitely interest and appeal to adults too.

Available for £9 at flapwarbler.com.
