Remy Dean Reads 'This' for World Book Day

Last year, for World Book Day, Red Sparrow writer Remy Dean enjoyed a virtual tour of some schools across Wales to read extracts from This Book One: That Realm Wherein We Hume Do Dwell. This year, we are happy to present a recording of one of those readings for all to enjoy for World Book Day 2022. In the video below, Remy talks about his favourite book from his childhood and how it inspired him to become an author. He also talks about his fascination with folklore and reads a complete chapter from This classic fairy-tale fantasy adventure written with Zel Cariad...

... and there's more! For a limited time, we will unlock all of This Part One as a free read on the Medium platform. Remy made This available as a Medium 'FreeBook' during the 2020 schools closures due to coronavirus controls in the UK. All we ask is if you do read and enjoy This Part One for free, please let others know how much you enjoyed it by writing a short review on Amazon, Good Reads, or your preferred social platform, or simply tweet us @RedSparrowPress and use the hashtag #ThisThatAndTheOther. 

Medium offers a smooth reading experience across most devices and you can access the free book without subscription via this special 'Friend Link'- simply click on the cover image below and let your imagination do the rest! (Tip: bookmark this blog post so you can continue to easily access the book for free.)


Happy World Book Day. Enjoy!
