Product description

‘A writer of comic genius – he has something of Roald Dahl’s magic, but more heart’ – The Sunday Telegraph

The perfect crime – it’s a work of art, in bestselling, award-winning Frank Cottrell Boyce’s funny, touching story, Framed. Cover illustration by award-winner Steven Lenton.

Dylan has accidentally been caught up in the crime of the century. Up until now he’s been bored stiff, as the only boy living in the tiny Welsh town of Manod, with only his chickens for company.

Until one day, he spots a mysterious convoy of lorries heading straight for the disused mines. They’re carrying a very precious cargo and when Dylan decides to investigate, he is quickly thrown headlong into the greatest art heist in history . . . probably.

A laugh-out-loud story about a very unlikely crime, shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie medal and the Blue Peter Book Award.

‘Ingeniously comic’ – Independent

Frank Cottrell Boyce is a screenwriter whose films include Welcome to Sarajevo, Hilary and Jackie and Millions, which was also his first book. He has also written episodes of Coronation Street and Brookside, so you probably know his stories from your TV set. He also wrote the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony! His first children’s book Millions won the Carnegie medal, and was made into a film by Danny Boyle. He used to run a Punch and Judy show, earning a fortune in small change, and just like Damian in Millions, he is a Catholic who is fascinated by stories of the saints. He is not a millionaire and has no plans to rob a bank! However, during a short-lived career as an assistant at a puppet show, he earned a fortune entirely in small change. He believes this is how he first became interested in the problems created by user-unfriendly cash. Just like Damian in Millions, he is a Catholic who is fascinated by stories of the saints.

His second book, Framed was inspired by a news story he’d read in an old scrapbook: During the Second World War, a collection of valuable paintings from the National Gallery was hidden in a slate mine for safekeeping. He couldn’t resist imagining how all of that great art might have affected the people who lived near the mine.

Frank lives in Liverpool, with his wife and family of seven children.
