[youngest author] six year old to be published

Proud father

Now here’s an interesting one: A six-year-old boy whose book will be published in the UK later this month has staked a claim as the world's youngest author.

There’s a link which takes you to the Independent, which continues: Christopher Beale completed his 1,500-word, five-chapter novel 'This and Last Season's Excursions' when he was six years and 118 days old, beating the previous Guinness World Record by 42 days. Christopher, now seven, from Zug in Switzerland, landed a publishing contract with Aultbea Publishing, based in Inverness, and his book will be launched in London on 25 November.

His father’s name is Theodore, aged 38 and he’s a proud dad. He’s also known as Vox Day.

  1. This is such an interesting post, most young boys don't even read books, let alone write them. This talented lad is obviously an exception.

  2. His father's not bad either. Member of MENSA, I believe.
