On Saturday Hugless Douglas was in Abingdon, and can be seen here with Mark of Mostly Books.

There are a number of books about Hugless Douglas.

In the first he tries to find that hug he is after, having just woken from hibernation.

A rock is big but is not that good to hug. Neither is a tree. Nor are some of the following hugs that get very funny: sheep, rabbit, owl etc. …

You will have to read the book to see if Douglas finds that hug.

(Mark Comments: It is worth mentioning that his creator – author and illustrator David Melling – is an Abingdonian, and we can all be very proud of him. Douglas is becoming a global publishing phenomenon!)
