Craig Winstanley

Craig Winstanley never left school and still hasn’t

decided what he wants to be when he grows up. He

found out that if you happen to have the knack of

passing exams, you end up as a Professor. Along

the way, children appeared, and to entertain them he

invented a silly king called Throb and made up some

stories. He was born and still lives in Lancashire,

having retired from the Professor thing, and his two

children now tower over him.

King Throb and the Christmas Inspector

The Court of King Throb the Ditherer is a bizarre place, populated mostly by rather silly people, but they muddle through somehow, until the alarming news of the imminent arrival of a Christmas Inspector. To their horror, they discover that nobody has ever passed such an inspection. Despite frantic, and often quite ludicrous attempts to satisfy the many incomprehensible demands placed upon them, Christmas is threatened with imminent and permanent cancellation. Can the Joint Committee for Deciding Ways and Means and Such Things find the answers? Can Princess Popsicle keep everybody calm? Can Chief Advisor Tim the Dim ever suggest anything remotely sensible? Can the Official Tea Pourer keep the supply of tea flowing? And will King Throb even get another Christmas dinner?
