Children's Fiction and Other Imaginative Writing
Between 1988 and 1995, Professor Andrew Gibson wrote and published five novels and one collection of short stories for children. The collection was illustrated by various artists, but the novels were all illustrated by the major talent of Chris Riddell. This is a side of Gibson’s work that has since gone into abeyance but that he is now reviving. Please click the images below for further information on each of the works published:
OTHER: NONSENSE VERSE, POEMS, OTHER FICTION, THE FUTURE
Professor Andrew Gibson has been writing poetry for a long time, but infrequently. He won the Mapleton-Bree Prize for poetry at St John’s College, Oxford in 1970. Save for a few poems in the Hampstead Literary Society Journal, his poetry remains unpublished. A selection of it can be found in an attachment here:
He has also recently written verse and stories for three of his four grandchildren, collected in three volumes, Yowan’s Powans; Little Lo and the Painters in Pink, a comic epic in twelve cantos; and Little Things Ten and Ten: Stories and Poems for Alea. You can find them here.
