‘Quick as a flash he was in the river. One, then two. These were followed by two more trout. What a feast! This welcome meal soon led to a very long drink. Aukid hadn’t eaten and drunk this much for ages and it felt really good. ‘
The illustrations are all finished and The Return of the Great Auk is having its final edit before going off to be printed. Matts illustrations are simply awesome – you will love them!
I will post some excerpts from the book shortly and, when it has been printed, details of how you can purchase it.
Exciting times ahead…
…talk soon

I went on a visit to the printers yesterday. Everything is ready their end to enable Aukid to come alive through the pages of a book. Just a few tweaks and decisions to be made at this end.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress.
Untill next time…

Very excited about the new picture that Matt has created. A few tweaks still to go but Aukid and Park have now officially met – in picture-form at least!
The Great Auk became extinct in the 1800s. No-one alive today has ever seen one. However, according to last year’s article in The Telegraph, the renewed sightings of these fantastic creatures may yet be a possibility. Imagine that!
The article explains how it could be possible to recreate the genetic code of these birds and then implant fertilised embryos into a bird big enough to be able to lay a Great Auk egg.
