It released in the UK in September of last year. Joe Todd-Stanton: Yes, a nerve-racking but amazingly rewarding experience! It had been in production for a long time, so finally being able to share the biggest project I had ever worked on was such a satisfying feeling. Jules: Did this, your debut children's book, originally release in the UK first? I asked Joe via email about the book’s path to publication, those glorious endpapers, and what’s next for Professor Brownstone. It’s a detailed and fast-paced 56-page picture book – and tells an epic and entertaining story, especially fetching for fans of fantasy and mythology. It’s Brownstone who tells the story of “the unlikeliest of heroes,” a young boy in a village in Iceland who must defeat a mammoth and magical wolf. This first volume of the series opens with a Professor Brownstone, welcoming readers into the family vault. Arthur and the Golden Rope-complete with a daring young protagonist a monstrous, hand-chomping wolf and “artefacts of great power and rarity”-is based on Norse mythology. Debut author-illustrator Joe Todd-Stanton, who lives in the UK, brings readers the first in a new series called Brownstone’s Mythical Collection.
