'[The Brothers McLeod] have an outstanding ability to tell the most nonsensical yet brilliant stories with word and picture. There is no other series with a bigger heart, with more madcap mischievousness...' Armadillo Magazine

Event Testimonials
A ... huge thank you for coming to the Oxford Literary Festival last week and for the brilliant event. It was so much fun, and a terrific celebration of creativity. I know the grown-ups enjoyed it almost as much as the younger members of the audience, and they had an absolute ball!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your AMAZING visit! The children and staff LOVED it and were so excited to see you and hear everything you had to say. We all really appreciate the time you gave, the different elements of the session and the brilliant resources you've shared.
