Boy and a Bear in a Boat - Hardcover

Born and raised in Leicester, Dave now lives in Cambridge with Pam, Mila and a cat whose name is too stupid to reveal in public. He likes comics, cricket, crosswords and talking to cartoonists about pens. His comic strip Good Dog, Bad Dog appeared in The DFC Comic and the Guardian, and is collected in book form by David Fickling Books.

"A Boy and a Bear in a Boat is a joy to read: slightly surreal, funny, a little bit scary" The Bookbag 20111129 "Rich in atmosphere and gently humorous, this is a delightful, small-scale but epic adventure" -- Julia Eccleshare Love Reading 20120109 "Sometimes scary, sometimes deeply touching, and often very funny indeed" -- Helen Mulley Teach Primary 20120101 "The lovingly designed jacket and hardback cover, with its slightly mottled paper and "worn" spine, evokes memories of Mervyn Peake's Letters from a Lost Uncle" -- Philip Ardagh Guardian 20120128 "A beautifully tender and enchanting story of a developing friendship between two most unlikely characters, in the most improbable of settings" Library Mice 20120130
