The ruins of gorlan series in order5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() The Ranger's Apprentice series started out life as twenty short stories which John Flanagan wrote to encourage his twelve-year-old son, Michael, to read. John was very generous with his time and lovely to chat to, signing all my boys' Ranger's Apprentice books. ![]() The crowd had gone by the time I arrived to pick my sons up and they and Paul's son were the only ones still there. He used to work in advertising so I guess he was used to writing quickly! We were even lucky enough to meet John at an author signing visit at The Children's Bookshop at Beecroft back in 2007. The bookshop's very near our place and the owner, Paul, often arranges author visits. Luckily, John Flanagan writes pretty quickly so there usually wasn't too long a gap between each book. They started reading them when they were eleven, devoured each book in double-quick time and then insisted we rush out to buy each new book as soon as it was released. My twins sons loved these books when they were younger. ![]()
