Daren King: London’s premier writer, magician and humourist


start | BOOKS | email
If you want to read my adult novels, I suggest you begin with the fourth, Manual. It’s my best book ever. Tom Boler is the prequel to Boxy an Star, so read these two books in that order. Languid and tall, Jim Giraffe stands alone. My fifth adult novel, New Love, will be published by Faber & Faber in 2010.

My third children’s novel, Peter the Penguin Pioneer, has recently been published by Quercus with illustrations by David Roberts. The fourth, Frightfully Friendly Ghosties, will be published by Quercus in Spring 2010.

My short stories have appeared in Arena magazine and several anthology books.
