Book description
Ulrik is desperate to be on the school football team, but he doesn't
really understand the rules, and his neighbour Warren Priddle certainly
isn't about to explain to the troll next door that wellington boots are
not the right footwear, and being Fierce and Scaresome will only get you
a red card!
After studying English and Drama, Alan started working life in a
travelling theatre company, visiting schools all over the country and
writing much of their material. He says it was a useful apprenticeship
- if the audience didn't like the play, they talked through it or
threw bits of paper at the actors. He very quickly learned what
children liked.
In addition to writing and directing plays, Alan trained as a drama
teacher. He has written stories and dramas for the BBC (both
television and radio), as well as many children's books.
