A.F. Harrold has been working as a poet and performer since the early years of this century. His work includes children’s books and school visits, comedy poems for slams and cabaret and several volumes of more pageish poetry. Oh, and a novel. And some songs and drawings. And a beard.

He has performed at many of the country’s Literary and Poetry Festivals, and was poet-in-residence for Glastonbury’s website in 2008 and Cheltenham Literature Festival in 2010. He’s gone to Denmark and Canada and Australia and France to perform. And his Edinburgh show, The Most Boring Man In England (and Other Love Songs), received a fairly decent four stars.

In 2012 his first book of children’s prose, Fizzlebert Stump: The Boy Who Ran Away From The Circus (To Join The Library) was published by Bloomsbury.
