Don’t Call Me Ishmael has been my most commercially successful book selling over 100,000 copies in Aust/NZ and being published in another seven countries including Germany where it has been a best seller and used as a school text.

(The two sequels haven’t sold as well even though I think they are both better than the original. But what would I know?)

And over the years Ishmael has also taken on DIFFERENT FORMS.

It has been performed a number of times as a STAGE PLAY both professionally and by schools groups in Australia and overseas.

It has been brilliantly reimagined as a MUSICAL.

In Germany the complete Ishmael Trilogy series has been broadcast as a RADIO PLAY.

People have made MODELS of various scenes.

And I am pleased to say that it has spawned the creation of an army of PEG-PEOPLE.

But now for something NEW.

THIS VERY WEEK the amazing Stephan and Sophia from the KOBLENZ THEATRE in Germany are putting on PUPPET PERFORMANCES of Don’t Call Me Ishmael for school groups.

And I think it looks great!
