Business description
Turner Butler are delighted to be able to bring to market arguably the best children'sbooks and characters package to appear in many years. The books are based on a group of
500 year old characters that help profile present-day concerns. There has never been a
better time for a product with such a strong message to be launched.
Aimed at a wide variety of age groups, this high-quality, humorous and bold three-book
series features an array of idiosyncratic characters who live in the picturesque setting of
the Peak District. The stories focus on the issues that face children today, such as
bullying, the environment, fair play and staying healthy through exercise and diet. The
characters, although from a bygone era do relate strongly to the modem-day world and
speak to an age range that spans small children to young adult and beyond.
As with all the most successful children's characters they will appeal to a much wider
audience than that at which it was originally aimed. Adult approval is all-important and
this series scores highly with its strong citizenship qualities and powerful social
messages. Indeed, the trilogy, although not fully launched, has received rave reviews and
a hugely positive response from readers and professionally interested parties (police,
teachers etc) alike.
In addition to the two books already written there will be a third to complete the trilogy;
the characters are ready for manufacture and the sale package includes full worldwide
publishing and broadcasting rights. It also covers worldwide distribution and licensing
rights over 13 categories (patent in place).
This opportunity should be very attractive to any company or individual involved in the
distribution or licensing of broadcast entertainment. Alternatively, it would offer an ideal
opportunity to a high net-worth individual looking for a platform from which to launch
into this exciting and lucrative sector.
