Martin Buckley recently visited Strawberry Couch to promote his first ever novel ‘Knick Knack Tree Adventures – Trouble in Trickletown’, aimed at children six and upwards, with a serious anti-bullying message.
Mr Buckley has been selling his book and doing book signings, and the store are running a raffle to send a local child in need, and possibly their family, on a trip to remember.
