Clive was born in Barnet, London. A familiar face of British TV and film, he has
also had an impressive career on the stage in a variety of lead roles. Clive attended
the National Theatre before training at RADA. He was nominated for an Olivier Award
in 1984 for his role in OF MICE AND MEN and went on to play Little John in ITV’s
superb Robin of Sherwood in the 1980s before roles in Casualty and The Vicar of
Dibley. Clive has appeared in dozens of radio plays and is a popular voice of talking
books. He is the only man in cinema history to beat up Clint Eastwood and survive
to the end of the film! Clive is married with a young son. He lives in Wiltshire
and is a season ticket holder at Stamford Bridge.
THE TREASURE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD is Clive’s fabulous first novel for 8-11s.
The novel blends classic boys’ adventure with gritty modern elements. In 2001 Clive
achieved a life long ambition when he completed a charity trek 18,420 feet to the
Mount Everest Base Camp. His experiences in Nepal provide the inspiration for the
book.
THE TREASURE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD
Are you a believer?
Connor and Freddie are best friends. Freddie hurtles through time and space via
his huge world map for heroic adventures—usually on a Thursday. Connor is Freddie’s
self-proclaimed protector, against the ‘non-Believers’ led by Jasper and his crew.
But this time Freddie returns from his latest escapade battered and bruised. Connor
rushes round to hear of the amazing trip to the foothills of Everest and the theft
of ancient treasures. What is in the mysterious old sandwich box that Freddie keeps
with him as if his life depends upon it? Connor finds himself having a vital part
to play in saving the day and maybe even solving one of mountaineering’s greatest
mysteries. This is the first of the ADVENTURES OF FREDDIE MALONE.
