"The Strange Case of William Whipper-Snapper" Revisited

This 1982 hilarious fantasy book delighted me as a child, and I wrote a post about it some years ago, which brought about a comment from the author, David R. Morgan, himself. 

Recently I received some great news, a wish realised... The Strange Case of William Whipper Snapper has been republished and is back on the market!  YAY!!!




We have works like the Harry Potter series and other modern franchises presently, but nothing beats the classics. And personally, I'm delighted about this development because the present generation of young readers out there will be able to read this classic gem by a very talented author, and revisit it by long-standing fans. David R. Morgan, who has written several more children's books and created audio poems over the years, really came through with this, and we are more than grateful to him... thank you, David!          

                      


Republished by A 2 Z Press LLC,  The Strange Case of William Whipper Snapper is available to buy on Amazon, as well as David's other titles.


Plot...

William and his sister must travel through time to get rid of a talking and VERY annoying silver case after it wreaks havoc in their home. 


Happy reading!
