THE LINCOLN IMP
THE LINCOLN IMP is the first of Sue's books to be illustrated (by her lovely and talented auntie, Jean Robinson).
It's the first of her books to be aimed at 7 - 11 and the first to be, above all else, FUNNY!
It's the first Sue Hampton book with elements of magical fantasy,
although the feelings and situations in it are very much of the real world.
 
Lincoln imp
It's the first to be recorded as an audio book on two CDs (£3.99) with colour-in inset, available from Sue in person at schools or libraries, or by email.

GRAHAM TAYLOR OBE, ex-manager of Lincoln City F.C. as well as England, says:

"What an excellent read! ... It describes family situations that all of us would recognise. But the star of the story is the Lincoln Imp: mischievous, funny, sometimes naughty, loveable, and of course, mysterious. Do we all have an imp inside us?

Sue Hampton is to be congratulated on creating a story of such warmth and humour (and the occasional teardrop) that I would recommend it to any member of the family - and particularly those with impish behaviour!"

REVIEW from Crosslincs, the diocesan magazine for Lincolnshire churches:
This charming tale brings local folklore into Jake’s life as he tries to find his place in the world following the arrival of a new baby brother, Sunny. The cheeky Lincoln Imp initially seems to have come into Jake’s life only to cause trouble but soon becomes an ally, coming to his aid and proving himself to be a true friend just when he needs one.
   Sue Hampton writes through Jake’s young eyes, bringing a delightful and perceptive innocence to the description and a light touch to the narrative. Although ostensibly a light-hearted story, the book also deals with some serious issues such as bullying and bereavement. These are handled with realism and sensitivity, making it an educational tool as well as a fun story.
   Parents will recognise themselves and their family members, and children will identify with Jake’s journey and enjoy the Imp’s mischief and mayhem.   Alexandra Harrison

At Lincoln Manor Leas Junior School pupils made their own film inspired by Sue's book. Well done!
