Amazing news debut self published author Stuart Webb has created some extra special doodled copies of Aurora’s Tears for Doodled Books collectors. Yes this book has been in the pipeline for most collectors of UK first edition books for quite some time. Why? Well please read on as this is a story within and story.
The team at Doodled Books remembers an article in the BMC (Book and Magazine Collector) a few years ago by a budding journalist called Stuart Webb. What was the article about? Well it was about two self published authors called Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams and their queste to find a major publisher. The column Stuart wrote was about New Collectables and what could be the next big thing. We remember thinking well lets get a copy and find out what it’s all about. Once we did we soon realised what huge potential the title had and the rest is history. Or so we thought!
Stuart obviously has an eye for talent and decided to make his own dreams a reality. The result is a stunning debut which is already creating a stir in it’s own right in the collectors market. Infact inside the May 2008 issue of the BMC there is a 3 page New Collectables review about it. We’re not comparing this books story to The Highfield Mole but is this a case deja-vu? Will a major publisher take it on? Will it’s film rights sell? Who knows but we give the book our backing.

Remember the classic tale of Stone Soup? Cornish Stone lies at the heart of Stuart Webb’s own recipe, and it s the folklore and mystery of that part of the world, combined with a believable modern heroine, that gives this book its appeal. A subtle and rewarding read. –Steve Augarde, Nestlé Smarties Children s Book Prize award winnerReview
Aurora’s Tears is one of those rare and wonderful books in which, from the very first page, you find yourself immersed in a story so beautifully drawn and compelling that you just have to read on. –Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, co-authors of bestseller Tunnels
