More About the Author
Clive Goddard didn't know he was a writer until this book happened. He thought he was a cartoonist. It was probably all those years spent illustrating 'Horrible' books for Scholastic that gave him this idea.
Fintan Fedora (The World's Worst Explorer) is his first work of children's fiction, partly inspired by his own love of travel and disastrous experiences. (ie. Being chased by an angry ostrich in Swaziland, having his rucksack soaked by a leaky toilet in Holland, getting heatstroke in Namibia, food poisoning in Thailand and being robbed in China.)
Clive splits his time between Oxford, UK and Denver, US where he draws, writes and practices sleeping for long periods of time. He is yet to win either The Booker or The Pulitzer prize but has a Blue Peter badge for colouring-in.

Churchill Made Fun,
By Jennie Lyn "jennielyn" (Silicon Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Winston Churchill and His Great Wars (Dead Famous) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my nine-year-old since we went to Blenheim Palace last year and I wanted to educate him a bit more on Churchill. What a GREAT, fun, amusing book. I love it. It's kind of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid"-meets-real-history.
Now I have to let HIM read it -- though it was he who led me to the "Dead Famous" and "The Knowledge" series, having been given two of them on British Airways flights ... one of which was Alan Macdonald's wonderful "Triffic Chocolate."
