We are The Newhall Book Company.
We believe children’s books should be more than just stories — they should
be fun, exciting, creative adventures that spark imaginations and leave lasting lessons.
Our mission is simple:
To tell exciting tales full of rhythm and rhyme.
To create characters children will never forget.
To share stories that teach, inspire, and delight.
A lot of my stories are all about courage; facing fears, taking on challenges, and doing the right thing even when it’s hard.
Which is probably why, alongside finishing our first books, I’ve decided to take on a challenge of my own.
I’m currently training for a Guinness World Record attempt, to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital;
On Sunday 26th April 2026 I will be channelling my inner Sir Laurence and attempting to break the Guinness World Record for
The Fastest Marathon Dressed as a Knight.
Well, if there’s one thing The Stubborn Troll would tell you, it’s that some quests are worth attempting even when they appear impossible.
Great Ormond Street Hospital is a cause that is very close to my heart; They do extraordinary work for seriously ill children and their families – work that relies heavily on fundraising and public support.
The importance of bravery is something that features heavily in many of my stories, and I figured to celebrate the launch of The Newhall Book Company I should practice what I preach. With this in mind I’ve set myself a challenge that’s going to be tough, painful, and (according to most sensible people) a bit ridiculous – all in the hope of raising as much money as possible for GOSH.
If you’d like to help support my Guinness World Record attempt and raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital, you can donate via the link below;

(This links directly to my official GOSH fundraising page)
Every donation helps. Every share helps.
To be completely clear and transparent, all donations go directly to Great Ormond Street Hospital but the books themselves are not charity products and no percentage of the book sales are donated.
Fundraising for GOSH happens alongside the books, if you decide to support the fundraising, that’s entirely optional, but hugely appreciated.
Whether you’re here to buy a book, discover our stories, or quietly cheer this challenge on from afar – thank you so much for your support.
