THE BOOK FAMILY ROBINSON is my most borrowed book from UK libraries

I’ve just received the July 2022 – June 2023 UK library loans figures for my books, courtesy of the Public Lending Right (PLR) scheme and a new entry has gone straight in at number 1 in my top 5 most borrowed books!

The Book Family Robinsonillustrated by Sam Caldwell, is my most borrowed book from UK libraries.  How the Borks Became: An Adventure in Evolution, has retained the number 2 slot with last year’s most borrowed book, Cleopatra Bones and the Golden Chimpanzee, dropping to third place. The top 5 is rounded off with  A Spot of Bother  and  A Present for Rosy which each dropped a place to 4 and 5 respectively.

Dispatch & Delivery

Books will be sent by Evri and should take 2–4 working days to arrive after dispatch. I’m generally able to dispatch orders within two working days of receiving them, but if I’m away from home, books will not be signed and dispatched until my return. If you place an order while I’m away for more than a week, you should receive an email telling you when the order will be dispatched and giving you the option to cancel and receive a full refund.
