That was the reason Paul Ferris wrote Once Upon A Toon.

“I could have written a tell-all about the horrible things that happened and the not very nice people I met,” he said.

“But I wanted to shine a light on the weird and wonderful.

“The new book is essentially a series of anecdotes and is uplifting.”

Inevitably there are stories about the late great Robson.
