Stuart Wells wrote his first children’s novel after being nagged by his three children to write an adventure story in which they featured. The Desert in the Dining Room tells of three children living in Brightwell Baldwin (not far from his home in Stadhampton) who travel through their dreams to a desert battle in Western China in 1865.
It is available from amazon.co.uk and at the Book House in Summertown and Thame.
