BBC Radio Scotland - The Mystical Mutt

The story of how Badger the Mystical Mutt became a favourite book of Scottish children.

The story of two new authors who risked it all to self-publish the amazing adventures of Badger the Mystical Mutt, which has become one of Scotland’s favourite children’s books.

With his higgledy-piggledy tower of of toast and his magic that doesn't always work, Badger the Mystical Mutt is the star of the hugely successful series of children's books by new authors Lyn McNicol and Laura Jackson. They have risked it all to follow their passion for writing, deciding to turn down the traditional publishing routes and go it alone. By combining genuine humour and a subtle social message throughout the fun packed books, they've found an enthralled audience close to home, personal satisfaction in their success so far and a world of opportunities waiting to take Badger to an even bigger stage. This is their story.
