Two Kowloon Tong brothers are well on their way to establishing literary reputations - at the tender ages of eight and 11. For Ryan and Perry Fung have already published three books between them, with another two on the way.
The brothers, who were at the English Schools Foundation's Kowloon Junior School this year, have their enterprising mum, Margaret, to thank for their launch into the literary world.
'It all started three years ago when Perry, who was then at Yew Chung International School, came to me and said he was fed up with the books in the library and wanted his own there,' she said.
'I encouraged him and he wrote a little every weekend, ending up doing 2,000 words and drawing the pictures for Mr and Mrs Nobody.'
The book about an invisible couple has sold about 800 copies and is even being used by Tai Po Sam Yuk Secondary School as a reading tool. Perry has since produced Twins - Jimmy and Jack, a sequel about Mr and Mrs Nobody's invisible offspring, writing 5,000 words in just five days.
Not to be outdone, his younger brother Ryan has just published Ryan's Space Handbook, a colourful 124-page guide to the planets and solar system. And proceeds from the book, which was proofread by Chow Kim-fung, curator of Hong Kong Space Museum, are to go to China's space programme.
Mrs Fung set up a publishing company, FMPR Books - FMPR stands for Dad Frank, Margaret, Perry and Ryan - and soon learned that the world of publishing is a tough one.
