The Dorp Rescue (Dorps)

Dorps are charming chubby little creatures, just over two thirds of a metre high and covered from the tip of their toes to the top of their little pointy heads in thick straggly white fur. They have long arms and large hands, short legs and wide-splayed feet - all the better for walking on deep snow. The only thing that sets them apart from Dorp copy-cats, is a tummy pouch in which they carry their food for the day.

When the small village of Dorpington is attacked by King Spink's terrifying, fearsome henchmen, the Stompers, it can mean only one thing - the villagers have all been dragged-off to work as slaves in the evil King's mines.

The only two surviving Dorps - Dongal and his little friend Doodle, are left with no-choice - they must set-off immediately on an amazing adventure to rescue their friends and families from the Stompers, armed only with their wits and... snowballs!

Ken regards himself as "knocking on a bit now" having been born in Harpenden, Hertfordshire during the middle of the last century. However, his wife Chris and his son and daughter - Ben and Fliss - firmly believe he has never grown up which is presumably why he's enjoyed inventing and writing about the Dorps so much. Before taking up writing he was a Graphic Designer and Art Director running his own small design group. He gave that all up when he and Chris moved to Andalusia, Spain in 2001 where they still live overlooking the Lake of Iznajar. Other than writing Ken enjoys am-dram and playing trains in his man-cave - who wants to grow up, anyway?
