Q: This is your third Cogheart book, do you enjoy revisiting the world? How do you go about thinking of new adventures for your lead characters, Lily, Robert and Malkin, or did you have these planned out when you began the Cogheart series?Ī: I love revisiting the world, yes, because it means I can find out more about it and the characters. We asked author PETER BUNZL to tell us more about SKYCIRCUS: The book explores questions around identity, difference and family. In the latest adventure, Lily, Robert and Malkin are lured to a circus where a flying girl leads the way into danger. SKYCIRCUS, the latest in the COGHEART series by PETER BUNZL, returns us to a world of clockwork people and animals, airships and mystery! He is currently writing full time and the sequel to Cogheart is due to be published in 2017. Peter is now also an author following publication of his first children's books, Cogheart, which was published in 2016 by Usborne. He also wrote and directed several fantastical shorts for children and his film Mind Games was a finalist for Virgin Media Shorts (2008) and was screened in over 200 UK cinemas. He went on to study art and then animation at the National Film & Television School before working on two BAFTA winning cartoon series (Yoko! Jakamoko! Toto! and The Secret Show). His father worked in antiques and his mother was a costume designer for film and television, so he got to see movies like Roger Rabbit being made and visited TV and film sets including James Bond and Postman Pat.

Children's author Peter Bunzl grew up in South London in a rambling Victorian house.
