'Chansey the Chicken and the Plum Tree'
'Chansey the Chicken and the Plum Tree' was launched on 6 December 2014 at the Killyhevlin Hotel, Enniskillen and is now available from the following local stockists.
This wonderful local book by John Conlon from Co. Fermanagh is a full colour, fully illustrated book across 24 pages, designed and created exclusively in Northern Ireland by Limavady artist and designer Gary Boyd.
Chansey the Chicken, also a Co. Fermanagh native is a curious character, a little mischevious but always willing to take a 'chance' for a risk she feels will be worth it! The story begins one afternoon after the author John noticed Chansey wander over to him while he studied for an exam. John, initially delighted and touched by his old friend showing support, soon realised that Chansey had set her sights on something!
She had seen something to do with the plum tree which she thought might just be worth taking a 'chance' on! A square 210mm x 210mm gorgeous paperback book, full of character and personality, a perfect gift for a child!
