We are out!!!

The book is now available for purchase from Lulu.

Wherever you are, simply goto www.Lulu.com and when it comes up, go to 'buy' then type "The Chicken has found a New Worm" or simply "The Chicken" and it will take you to the page. Lulu will take care of the currency conversion etc. and your book will be specially printed for you.

The printer's proof which arrived today shows that the whole project has worked out exactly as I intended. 190 pages of stories, each one independent - about 30 of them. It's a 'dip into' book, or as the term goes, a 'coffee table' book, or I expect for some, a 'pick up and read straight through' book.

Either way, I sincerely hope that it proves enjoyable for you, as per my intention.

It is Royal size, which means that people like me will have no trouble handling it, nor will they have any trouble reading, as I have made the print 12 point size, to accommodate poor eyesight like mine.

There are illustrations too, which may or may not amuse.

Please don't forget, if you wish, I have available, a delightful bookplate for insertion inside. If you want one, then please mail me at: thechickenandtheworm@mantonwood.co.uk.

I will need your name and street address (for the mailing label), plus a few short words for the message, and I will be happy to write this onto the plate in my own fair hand before mailing to you.

Then I shall destroy all traces of your details. That is a solemn promise. I have no interest in collecting such things, except as apply to my friends and I certainly will not pass it on to anyone else.

Enjoy the book.
