About a Dark Ages wizard in modern times
Simon Farnaby is writing his first children’s book, about a Dark Ages warlock who finds himself in the 21st Century.
The Ghosts and Detectorists star previously co-wrote the films Mindhorn and Paddington 2, but The Wizard In My Sheis his first novel.
It’s about Merdyn The Wild and the ordinary girl, Rose, who agrees to help him navigate the modern world if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her broken family in return.
Publishers Hachette say the ‘hilariously silly and heartfelt adventure is perfect for fans of David Walliams and David Baddiel’.
