Author: Alan Garner

Dreaming of becoming a cartoonist, Alan J. Garner realized his early ambition drawing a cartoon strip about the ups and downs of a cheeky magpie published daily in a local newspaper. Hankering to write, at the urging of his wife he began putting down on paper his first novel. Bringing his wicked sense of humour to the project produced The Chosen One and the abandonment of the sketched line in favour of the written line.
