I've always been fascinated by giant squids - so this is my giant squid story. And it really is GIANT! Look at him curled around that house. Soon after writing this book I was walking on a deserted stretch of beach in Cape Point and found a real giant squid washed up the beach. It was a dream come true. Unfortunately it was VERY old and VEEEERY smelly, but I got a photo of me lying next to it. (I smelled bad for days after.)
