The apocalypse is coming. There’s no way out of I’m afraid. Nope, not even through that sneaky door labelled “exit” – it’s fire and brimstone for us all.

But hey! Let’s not be downbeat about it! Why not laugh your way to the end of the world with some commentary from one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse himself? Ok so he might not be the most mysterious or powerful of the four, but he’s probably not the ugliest anyway. Pestilence has set up his very own blog to document the lead up to the end – which you can read at http://www.the13thhorseman.com/

Conveniently the countdown to the end of the world coincides with the publication of the hilarious new book from Barry Hutchison, The 13th Horseman on the 1st of March. Barry has documented Pest’s diary so that ahead of publication, you can learn why exactly Toxie the Hellhound owes them one, where Pest got that nasty rash and watch Death descend into madness (well, waiting for an apocalypse for thousands of years can be pretty boring). The end of the world has never been so entertaining.

You can follow Barry on the following varied methods:

We were literally just discussing Sarah Lean’s book, A Dog Called Homeless, when our export Sales Director Victoria brought this little friend in. He’s actually called Billy but he WAS homeless and Victoria took him in! He’s made our day, the gorgeous little pooch.

Watch the video and get ready for Valentine’s day with the cutest monster in Cutesville… Love Monster, by Rachel Bright, is waiting for you!

There’s no end to the gorgeousness of Clara Vuilliamy’s Martha character. Chuffed to bits to get this little Christmas gift tag card and cute button in the post! Bring on Christmas!
