of The Wee Web. As well as working with books, Robert also collects
rare and curious Scottish titles, including books on folklore,
witchcraft, legend and fairy tales.
Robert is also the UKs leading expert on Ladybird
Books and has written many articles, contributed to a few
books and has given interviews to radio and newspapers concerning
these little books.
Robert is also responsible for everything you see on The Wee
