Award-winning novelist, stand-up comic, academic, former clown and now children's book author, A.L. Kennedy is a woman of many talents.

Here, she reads the opening from her most esteemed debut series for children, Uncle Shawn and Bill and the Almost Entirely Unplanned Adventure, written by A.L. Kennedy and illustrated by Gemma Correll, in which a brave and handsome young badger called Bill meets two extremely dreadful sisters and begins an adventure he may not survive.*

*He also has a sore ear and remembers that he doesn't like shorts, especially if he is wearing them.

Uncle Shawn and Bill and the Almost Entirely Unplanned Adventure will be available soon from almost all good booksellers.
