The Reds & The Greys book launch

Launching at Medina Bookshop, The Reds and The Greys: In Defence of the Isle by Edmund Matyjaszek is the first children's book to be published by Naked Figleaf Press.

Beta readers are calling it the Isle of Wight's own version of Watership Down

On the Isle of Wight, for as long as anyone can remember, red squirrels have lived in peace and tranquillity UNTIL…a report came, their deadliest enemy, the grey squirrel had arrived! The animals of the island alone could not stop them. So the High Heron of Wootton, Guardian of the Isle, hatches a plan.

One night, he sends Red, the island squirrel, to the window of a lonely schoolboy who lives near the sea…..to start to marshal humans, animals, birds and horses to combine in defence of the isle.
