Alien Onion
in which the editors eat a lot of cake
14 November 2011
Every good weep-fest deserves cake
It's not every cake that features a drop shadow...
Happy birthday, FL!
And excellent cake-makery, SB!

The Alien Onions
We design, edit, publish and generally wrangle books, authors and illustrators, and eat cake in a three-storey Victorian terrace with a view of St Patrick's Cathedral.

Our beautiful banner was created by
Mr Terry Denton
. It is the view from the House of Onion.
