The story of Scottish scouts James Marr and Norman Mooney and how it changed their lives to be selected to go on the Shackleton-Rowett expedition to Antarctica back in 1921.

They say you should never go backward in life and dwell in the past. Well I am making an exception! After about 30 years I think we all have a right to know if Clerb ever came back. Surely in this time of uncertainty and world crisis Clerb is needed more than ever. So here he is again just for the fun of it and just to ensure that trees everywhere have a right to be really bored once in a while again. Enjoy!

Rooting about in the loft of a house that you have lived in for ages can be a dangerous activity. Especially if there are no loft boards! In it, I discovered what I believe to be the only surviving printed copy of Clerb, a short book I wrote some 27 years ago now. Influenced by two huge gods of "funtastical" literature - Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett - Clerb is a humorous alien time travel adventure story... involving yoghurt!
