THE final book in the Wallabelly trilogy has been completed by Bude author, Trevor Lashbrook.

The book, entitled 'The Worst King of Cornwall', is suitable for children aged nine to ninety.

It is a tale of how the arch-villain Wallabelly enslaves all the local people and proclaims himself king of North Cornwall.

Trevor said: "It can be read on its own, but some copies of the earlier books will be also available."

The book, priced at £4.99, will be on sale at Spencer Thorn's Bookshop in Bude, in time for Christmas.
