David Fickling Books website
Hello and welcome to the DFB website!

David Fickling Books is a small story house based in Oxford. Three of us editors work here, David, Bella and Hannah. We choose the very best stories or narratives we can find for people to read. It�s a great job. We don�t choose very many, sometimes as few as just one book a month, sometimes a novel, sometimes a picture book, sometimes poetry...

Children will delight in peeping through the die-cut holes and guessing what Tim has spotted.

Johnny Swanson reviewed in the Times
1st May 2010
‘Eleanor Updale�s Johnny Swanson belongs to this category, and it deserves the highest praise. Best-known for her charming Victorian adventures involving the burglar-turned gentleman spy Montmorency, she has taken an entirely new direction in a tale of a small, lonely boy who gets drawn into a serious crime involving the development of the TB vaccine.’ Amanda Craig, The Times , Saturday 1st May 2010.
