Fun London

About

Alfundo “Fun” London was born in Florence, Italy. His mother was a beautiful blonde tarantella dancer with an adventurous spirit. Much less is known of his father, a sailor who was lost in the stormy seas off the coast of Ithaca shortly after Fun was conceived. After spending his youth on the island of Corsica learning the language and ways of the French, he found his way to America where he now resides. He spent summers working for a carnival where he met many interesting people who fueled his imagination.

“I have always loved life, and I find each person I meet to be of great interest. I believe in the basic goodness in us all and in the joy of creating. I write to bring some of my joy to others. Remember, if you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right.” Fun London

Story Behind The Book

As a child I had the unfortunate opportunity to experience the sudden loss of a parent. I know first hand what kind of a trauma this can be and how hard it is for a child to understand and to readjust to the new circumstances. I remember spending a great deal of time out in the woods, trying to lose myself in nature. I only wish I had had the benefit of a fantasy like Lost in the Woods to help me sort things out in my life.

<p>&quot;Move over Lewis Carroll. Fun London is your newest competition. Lost in the Woods is an adventurous tale of a boy named Jack and his crazy encounters in a strange mysterious land full of talking creatures. From the very beginning, I could not stop reading. I had to know what was going to happen next. This book will keep you on the edge of your recliner with your Kindle in hand. Fun story from start to finish. The best part is, Fun London has written other stories that I can't wait to buy.&quot; <strong>S.Z., father, teacher, author</strong><br /><br /><span style="color:#0000ff;">&quot;…Fun London does talking animals <em>well.</em> Each creature Jack meets on his journey home had a different, unique voice. And not all of them actually<em> spoke</em> to get their voice across. And not all of them are friendly… But instead of having random enemies, Fun London makes sure that any and all foes have a personal and, more importantly, <em>believable reason</em> why they’re going after Jack. </span><span style="color:#0000ff;">But it’s a forest-wide disaster that brings everyone together, friend and foe alike, in a bid to save their home. And maybe – just…just <em>maybe</em> – Jack learns something about himself along the way… </span><span style="color:#0000ff;">‘LOST IN THE WOODS’ is a brilliant, old-school fantasy story that will entertain and delight children of all ages.&quot; <strong>Dave Brett-Andrews, Children’s Author</strong></span><br /><br /> &quot;This is a witty, heartwarming story about a boy who has lost his way and gets help in an unexpected place. I loved the funny and unique animals and the parts they played in Jack's adventure. There was plenty of action and danger, no blood and guts. The ending is uplifting.&quot; <strong>Amazon Verified Customer Review</strong></p>
