HIGH IN THE CLOUDS / ONLINE STORE OFFER / US TOUR

HIGH IN THE CLOUDS

"I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. As a child, I read Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson with great enjoyment and was transported from Liverpool to a tropical isle. More recently, I've enjoyed reading Dickens, catching up on his many great works - my favourite so far being Nicholas Nickleby. But the book I'm most excited about is High In The Clouds!”  Paul McCartney

Imagine a land where all the animals are free . . .

To the creatures of the woodland, the land of Animalia sounds like a dream – a tropical island where all the animals live in harmony. They are over-shadowed by a much more evil community: the polluted Megatropolis, whose dirty skyscrapers block the horizon.

And then one day, Wirral the Squirrel’s woodland is destroyed by developers and he is thrown into the nightmare world of Megatropolis. But Wirral believes in Animalia and he joins with Froggo, a world-class amphibian balloonist, and Wilhamina, a girl squirrel, to lead the enslaved animals of the city to a new life.

So begins an exciting adventure through the mean streets of Megatropolis, over the sea and through the sky.

High in the Clouds has developed out of an exceptional fusion of talents, and the result is a book that will delight children of all ages and is sure to become an enduring classic.

Paul McCartney’s lifelong interest in children’s storytelling grew out of his childhood love of classic Disney. He has created a number of animated films in collaboration with Geoff Dunbar, including Rupert and the Frog Song, which won a BAFTA for best animated short film of the year. His recent animated releases have included Daumier’s Law, which won a BAFTA for best short animated film, Tropic Island Hum and Tuesday.

Geoff Dunbar, the artist who has created the illustrations for this book, is one of the world’s finest animation directors. Among his many awards for film and television Geoff has received two BAFTAs, a Palme d’Or at Cannes, a Golden Bear at Berlin, a Grand Prix at Ottawa and La Spiga d’Ore at Valladolid.

Philip Ardagh is a bestselling children’s author whose books have received widespread critical acclaim throughout the world. His best-selling Eddie Dickens trilogy, currently translated into over 25 languages, is in the process of being developed into a major film for Warner Bros.
