A fantasy author has said it has been "unreal" to write a book with his childhood hero.
Jonathan Green, from Taunton, Somerset, has written more than 70 gamebooks, which are interactive tales that lead to a variety of endings.
Mr Green has now released a book with Sir Ian Livingstone CBE – who, along with Steve Jackson, co-founded the original series of role-playing gamebooks, Fighting Fantasy.
“He was my hero, and now I’ve written a book with him," Mr Green said.
Mr Green's passion was ignited by the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, which were first released in the 1980s when he was 10-years-old.
Sir Ian and Mr Jackson wrote the books, which include popular titles like Deathtrap Dungeon Scorpion Swamp and The Warlock of Firetop Mountain.
“When I was 10-years-old, I wasn’t particularly sporty or anything like that, but the fact that I could take on this persona in a book, wield a sword and fight a dragon and win was amazingly empowering,"
