David published his first children's novel, Fire Bringer, in 1999 and since then his books have been read and loved around the world. He doesn't believe in a profound distinction between children's and adult literature, just in great storytelling, and so his books - complex, dramatic and poetic - address complex themes that confront us all, young or old; life and death, love and meaning, faith and purpose, fantasy and truth. His new UK novel, Fell, is an animal fantasy and the much awaited sequel to The Sight. It comes out in September. The new paperback of The Telling Pool, recently shortlisted for the Tir na Nog prize, will also be available this August. The Telling Pool is an Arthurian fantasy that takes us back to the Crusades and examines themes that affect us even today. The kind of stories that inspired David range from Tolkien to Jack London, CS Lewis to Oscar Wilde, but nature is at the heart of his adventures. Right now he's making a collection of all-time favourite scenes from children's books and wants to know what you think. Click on the link above called 'Your Favourites'.
