It’s today! #Mermedusa, the final book in my Eerie-on-Series about friendship, fish & chips, and fiendish goings-on at the seaside is published! If you read Malamander and were left with questions, this might just be the book for you…😉🧜🏼‍♂️😸

One of my students, who is a reluctant reader, is thoroughly enjoying Malamander at the moment; she is really enjoying putting on the characters’ voices & acting it out. She would be delighted if you could answer some questions. See below: @ThomasHTaylor #Malamander #RfP 1/2

Honestly wish I could visit Eerie-on-Sea this half term. Until someone builds a replica I'll carry on reading this brilliant series of books. @ThomasHTaylor

Tonight is the vigil of the Feast of the Translation of St Walburga, an English nun who took part in the conversion of Germany with St Boniface, and was the first Abbess of Heidenheim; her relics famously exuded a miraculous oil #Walpurgisnacht
