The Gospel According to Little Artist Boy

Magda Archer

'I LOVE Little Artist Boy' Philippa Perry

Step into the colourful world of the Little Artist Boy. Linger for some time. Not too long mind, he has things to be getting on with. Whether you're in the clutches of a bad day or you have a spring in your step from having a good one, you'll find just what you need in the wise, funny, smart and sensible (but never dull!) words of Little Artist Boy.

In a collection of sassy and wise quotations, he dispenses comfort and advice on all areas of life - from 'There's nothing like a game of crazy golf to clear the air' to the virtues of a smock and beret, to the effortless 'Stop being a mug'.
