I am proud to have published six books for 8-12 year old children, all set on the mysterious Island of Animaux. The island is located somewhere at the very edge of the world, although it has yet to be discovered. It is full of the strangest creatures having unending crazy, mad, funny adventures.

All the books have received wonderful reviews. The latest one is ‘Who’s There?” and as usual it contains five tales, the first following on from the last in the previous book, “The Other Side”.

In the new tales, Aubrey the Turkey is once again the centre of attention, with strong support from Clifford Platypus and Walli Hog. See how they go on an amazing journey, to help ten-year-old Daisy return to the real world. Watch Aubrey lose all his money to a sly fox and Douglas Duck almost become a shark’s snack. And delight as Aubrey, Clifford and Walli save their new friends’ business, much to Rick Rat’s annoyance.

I am delighted to once again be returning to the Oxford Indie Book Fair.

Norman George was born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where he grew up during the height of the troubles. Although he is a retired IT network manager, his real passion is for natural sciences, having studied Genetics and Cell Biology, Geosciences and Astronomy at Manchester and Open Universities.

He spent over 20 years living on mainland Europe, and spent several years hosting a ski chalet, where he became chef, driver, tourist guide and barman. His fascination for natural sciences, complemented by observation of humanity’s cultural conflicts, terrorism and the impact of mankind on nature, inspired his first novel.

‘Who Writes the Rules?’ published in 2023 presents scientific ideas and the author’s concerns about the impact of human activity. The story of Mosse and Heelia’s relationship examines how of cultural differences conflicts with their instincts, while providing a vehicle for discussing natural science within the context of the plot.

Norman’s 2nd novel, ‘Divine Intervention’, was inspired by visits to Athens and Delos, where the temples to the Greek gods are now in ruins. How would Athena react if she saw the horde of tourists surrounding the Parthenon?

A 3rd thought-provoking book is currently being researched, to be published in 2027.
