Meet James Wilkinson
A storyteller born and raised in Liverpool — writing the stories he wished he'd had as a boy.
A storyteller, born & raised in Liverpool
"The house was small. The money was tight. But love was everywhere — that's the Liverpool I grew up in, and the one I wanted to put on every page."
James Wilkinson grew up in Liverpool in a cosy little home packed full of noise, laughter and love — with his Mum and Dad, his brother Michael, and his sisters Jan, Lynn, Paula, Kathy and Ann Marie. There was never much room, but there was always room for a dream.
A Little Liverpudlian is his own boyhood reimagined — a curly-haired little dreamer, a baker dad, a front room full of toys, and the funny little dog he wished into being. Written for his children and grandchildren, it's now a beautifully illustrated series for little dreamers everywhere.
