When I read a poetry collection and sense that there's a sequence of sub-par poems, I often wonder whether it's me having an off day. What has emerged from James Robertson’s original New Year’s Resolution is a rich patchwork of fiction, woven in with stunning melody, now evolving into a multimedia piece of free public art. I read one or two of these short story's to my 4 year son every night and he follows and enjoys them very much.

Big Issue If you're looking for a Christmas present that keeps on giving … or if you fancy this yourself and can drop huge hints in someone's ear, then I don't think you could go wrong with 365 dovegreyreder What can you say in a few words? It's eclectic and not always in a good way, but as a little thing that let my partner and me enjoy a few moments of fiction together each day, this was absolutely perfect!

He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. But if an author paints himself into a corner where stories and even words can't be edited away, what do you expect?
