“Beyond Manapouri” has arrived, and looks amazing!
… but that’s just my opinion, so I canvassed a number of individuals in my community to gauge their reaction to the book.
Here is a summary of their responses:
Bella the sheep – interested enough to come over, but noticeably disappointed that is wasn’t edible
Pippa – indifferent
Pixie (AKA the Marauding Chicken) – vaguely interested, but only because she wanted to know where I had hidden the bowl of ricies (could have been behind the book). Frankly, I would have expected better from Pixie, given that she got special mention in the Preface, but there you go…
Gracie – she looked kind of interested, but I think she might have just been humouring me.
But books are instore now, so you can judge for yourself!

I thought Pixie’s response was a little more engaged….. as least she was looking in more or less the right direction!
Yes, though I think that might have been the (cleverly concealed) ricies! mwah-ha-ha
