Media Reviews
Praise for TEACHING LITTLE FANG: Bold and clever, this book is a romp, really funny Spectator Mark Swallow's debut has enough difference about it to set it more than slightly apart Literary Review Chronicling the frustrated youth's anxieties, excitements and obsessions, it is sharp and sometimes hilarious Independent
