One of the priests at Carlisle Cathedral has released a children’s book.

Canon Michael Manley has penned a brand-new adventure story ‘Robbie and the Agents of Corliol’.

The book tells the story of Robbie, a very ordinary boy with a very extraordinary talent, and lives in the city of Corliol.

He loves astronomy, and often sneaks into his local cathedral grounds to search the stars.

One night he stumbles upon a whole new world, and encounters one of the Guardians of Corliol – a talking mouse called Jan.

He soon finds himself on a dangerous quest to save the star-light ceiling from a gang of criminal cats, led by the sinister Satan and his sidekick Lucifer.

Books are available to purchase now and Canon Michael will be signing copies after the 10:30am mass on Sunday, September 1.
