About this audiobook

The brilliant, heart-warming debut novel from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Dummy and Man vs Toddler

Frank is a miserable old curmudgeon. An agoraphobic recluse and widower whose only company is the 'ghost' of his wife, Marcie. He is estranged from friends and family and is entirely cut off from the rest of the world.

That is until he meets Red.

Red is six years old. He's a funny, imaginative, and kind little boy who - following the separation of his parents - moves in next door. Red is fascinated by his new neighbour and seemingly oblivious to Frank's grumpy demeanour and strange ways.

What on Earth will come of this unlikely friendship? Only time will tell...

About the author

Matt Coyne is from Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In September 2015, Matt's life was turned upside down by the arrival of his son Charlie. After three months of parenthood, he logged on to social media and wrote about his experience of being a clueless, first-time parent. Within days, his post about surviving the first few months of parenthood was shared by millions all over the world. Following this, Matt created his popular blog Man vs Baby, which now has over 400,000 followers on social media. He has two Sunday Times bestselling books based on Man vs Baby and has also written for The Guardian, The Telegraph, Private Eye and GQ Magazine. Matt lives in Sheffield with his son Charlie, his partner Lyndsay and a Jack Russell terrier with 'issues' called Popcorn. Frank and Red is Matt's first novel.
