I’m really excited to tell you The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch is coming to New Zealand! It’s a new play adapted from our book by the excellent Tim Bray Theatre Company in Auckland. I hope you get to go and see it! You can find out more on their website.
Mr Grinling is no longer a lighthouse keeper but there’s always something for him to do. When George comes to stay it’s time to clean up the rubbish from the beach. But where is it all coming from? It’s a mystery to Mr. Grinling and George. The Lighthouse Keeper’s Mystery is a charming new story in this beloved series with an important conservation message.

The very inventive kids at St. George’s school in Taunton, UK, have created a brilliant Lego stop-frame animation. It was made by all of the children in Year 2, based on The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. Brilliant!
The Federation of Children’s Book Groups is celebrating their fiftieth anniversary.
Passionate about books and reading and getting children and books together, they decided as part of their celebrations they should compile a list of some of their favourite books from the last fifty years.
While they have included a book by each of the Children’s Laureates and some titles have been award winners, the books are ‘primarily ones that for many of their members have stood the test of time and remain firm favourites amongst adults and children alike.’
I am delighted that The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch has been included in the list.
