Publisher Description 'My love affair with writing in this city culminated in having the book launch of the sixth Harry Potter at Edinburgh Castle, easily my favourite launch so far.'-- J. K.

My imagination can do the rest.'-- Joan Lingard, author of The Sign of the Black Dagger and Tilly and the Badgers'Did you know that if Robert Louis Stevenson had never written 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde', there might be no big, green, angry superhero called the Hulk?

I turned them all into one Mrs McKitty. These ladies all wore hats from Jenners, and were afraid of nothing and no one.
