Speaking of writers, check out James Hamilton’s new book

Sez he:

The story is a Tolkienade, only one set in southern Africa rather than Europe (for a change). There are elves and goblins (though they have different names), there are battles in forests and grasslands, there are evil giant baboons, there are ELEPHANTS! And for a change, they’re on the good guys’ side!

Sounds perfect for a kid this Christmas! If you’d like a taster, check out the chapter extracts on Patreon – here’s a map of the book.
