Merry Christmas!

23 December, 2011 by Alex

Here’s to a very lovely Christmas break, and here’s to the first glass of Port for the year!

See you all in 2012. I’m certain it’ll be a good year.

    Dear Alex,

    today I received an e-mail from the German bookpublisher Ravensburger, telling me they have no plans releasing part three of the Mousebeard trilogy here in Germany. That is rather annoying, as my 9 year old daughter loved the first two books and is eagerly awaiting part three, which I believe has been available for almost two years now.
    Can you tell me whether Ravensburger still own the German rights ?
    If there’s no German publisher for part three I might start translating the book to German myself …

    Best wishes for a happy new year
    Torsten Marschall, Germany

    Hello Torsten!
    Thanks for contacting me. Sadly, I’ve heard no news about book three (mousebeard’s revenge) being translated into German. The trilogy was sold abroad as separate books, so in light of that email you’ve received, i can only say that it’s unlikely to happen any time soon.

    I’m really sorry, but thanks for your interest in my books, it’s incredibly kind of you.

    Alex

Big Sky Mountain

By Alex Milway

Welcome to Big Sky Mountain: a home for everyone!

Rosa has come from the city to live with Grandma Nan in the wilds of Big Sky Mountain. And what surprises are in store for her! Grandma Nan is not exactly an ordinary grandma, and Big Sky Mountain is like nowhere Rosa has dreamed about before. Grandma Nan lives in an old wooden cabin with Albert the moose and Little Pig the pygmy owl, and spends every day out on adventures. From canoeing down rapids to making friends with the local animals, life never stays still for long on Big Sky Mountain!

An exhilarating new series set in the great outdoors, from HOTEL FLAMINGO author Alex Milway.

An excellent early reader book for children aged 4-8

Funny and charming; Alex Milway has made me want to fly right into Big Sky Mountain myself. – Andy Shepherd, author of The Boy Who Grew Dragons

I want to go to Big Sky Mountain! It’s the rugged wilderness, but much softened by a comfy bear who’s a travelling salesman, a moody architect hare and some busy builder beavers who still have to learn about how to get along with the rest of the community. – Sarah McIntyre, illustrator of Pugs of the Frozen North

This is a perfect, big-hearted adventure story, with pictures and laughs on every page and an environmental message delivered with the lightest touch. Once you have met the wonderful cast of talking animals, warmed to Nan’s peculiar ways and found your feet in the wilderness, like Rosa you’ll never want to leave Big Sky Mountain. – Clara Vulliamy

As a HUGE fan of feisty grandmothers I LOVED Grandma Nan in Big Sky Mountain! Wise, capable and fearless, she is the perfect role model for her granddaughter Rosa. A wild adventure with an important message, bravo! – Sophy Henn, author and illustrator of Bad Nana

The perfect adventure to rewild young readers – Benji Davies, author and illustrator of Grandad’s Island
