The hominid Peter Cox

Fantastic party last night to celebrate children’s publisher Egmont’s expansion into the US market. Egmont is a wonderful publisher, and are well ahead of the pack in terms of their ethical business practices, particularly with regard to their environmental impact - something of growing concern to many of my authors and indeed readers. Some parties don’t really ignite, with people standing around in small groups not mingling - but Egmont’s was rocking from the start. I dimly remember being chased out of the disabled toilet by Jane Conway-Gordon wielding what appeared to be a truly fearsome Shillelagh (or it might have been a cudgel). I was terrified.

Megumi Biddle, the most amazing silhouette artist, was kind enough to do a profile of me - using noting more than black card, dainty scissors and the most exquisite ability (look at the beard detail). A great touch! You can book her
for your next party here.
