Local authors have written a cheery Christmas story based in Chipping Dogbury, a fictional town bearing an uncanny resemblance to Chipping Sodbury.

The story entitled 'Rocco The Rock Star Swallows the Moon' is an enchanting children's book, the latest in the 'Rocco the Rock Star' series and will be available this festive season.

Readers may recognise many of the local land marks featured with in the book.

Authors Rachel Smith and Charlie Ford make donations to dog rescue charities and as this story features a prickly rescue, they will also be making donations to the Chipping Sodbury Hedge Hog Rescue from sales of the Christmas book.

The book can be purchased at roccotherockstar.com or in Artingstalls Butchers on Chipping Sodbury High Street.

Stockists also include Amazon and Ebay and will be available from October 30.
