The former stand-up comedian turned children's novelist Jonathan Meres launched his mad-cap new novel starring the hapless Norm at the Book Festival. All about poor Norm, whose family has just moved house and his dad keeps him awake at night snoring like a constipated rhinoceros. If you like your books daft, eccentric and full of nuts – then this is for you. This is the full recording of the live event for 9-11 year olds as it happened at the 2011 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
