David published his first children's novel, Fire Bringer, an animal adventure, in 1999 to great crticial acclaim in the UK and the US. 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. 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'.and have fun.
