Little Wolf's Diary of Daring Deeds Award-winning team by Ian Whybrow (author) and Tony Ross (illustrator)

When his Uncle Bigbad dies, Little Wolf inherits two things: all his gold… and Cunning College, his school of badness! Utterly useless at being big and bad, Little and his cousin Yeller decide that BADNESS is out and that ADVENTURES are in. But their first mistake is thinking that they can buy adventures. Their second mistake is to reply to Mister Marvo’s advert for Scary but Safe Instant Adventures. Soon they are caught up in a real adventure, complete with danger and terror! Unfortunately, Little is scared of bangs, snow gives Yeller the shakes… and then little brother Smellybreff gets cubnapped! Will these cowardly cubs make it through Frettin Forest, over the Grim Mountains and across the Perrilus Pass into Grimshire?

Little Wolf’s letters about his daring deeds will delight big bad readers young and old!

Ian Whybrow

Ian Whybrow is the best-selling author of over 100 children’s books, and is best known for his much-loved Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs books. He is now published in 27 languages in 28 countries!

Before he took up writing full time, Ian spent most of his working life in secondary education, mostly as Head of English and Drama and later as Head of Sixth Form.

Ian’s books are full of inventive and original humour and always writes with adult readers as well as youngsters in mind. “I loved being read to as a child,” he says. “And I loved the sense that my mother and father were enjoying themselves too. For me, that’s the acid test for any good book -that there’s something in it for everyone to enjoy.’

Apart from his wife and daughters, his passions – in no particular order – are: Herefordshire, where he retreats to write in a deeply rural Victorian villa; digging; walking with friends; swimming; cycling (especially in France); the poet Stevie Smith; the theatre; books, films and hedgehogs.
