• 2 copies of Ships, Shoes and Maggiemou – life on a world cruise by Maggie Thorpe
Maggie Thorpe, author of Ships, Shoes and Maggie Mou. Two copies about her adventures on a World Cruise. She says: I do hope the lucky people who win my book enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed my time on the cruise ships writing it. I wrote the book more as a challenge to myself as I have been dyslexic all my life. I hope it gives inspiration to other dyslexics to never give up. Happy Cruising.
