WELCOME TO WROODLES VILLAGE

Decorative gold divider

Home to an ever-growing collection of slightly exaggerated characters inspired by the people, personalities and peculiar habits we encounter in everyday life.

There’s Peacock Pete, with the peacock stance. You may have seen it?

Amusing on the surface. Surprisingly familiar underneath.

The first resident in the village...

MEET PEACOCK PETE

Chest out. Chin up. Arms out

Peacock Pete is the first villager to have his behaviour thoroughly documented — in his very own book. You may laugh at him. Then realise you know one.

Peacock Pete was only the beginning...

MORE RESIDENTS ARE MOVING IN 

The village is growing. New personalities are unpacking their bags, polishing their quirks and preparing to be observed.

TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF THE VILLAGE HOME

​Wroodles books mix humour, observation and a little psychology to explore the strange things ordinary people do.

You may laugh at the characters. Then realise you know one.

WHAT'S A WROODLE?

Wroodles began as Writing Doodles — little observations, thoughts and ideas about people and life. Somewhere along the way, they acquired characters, books, a pub and an entire village.

Things got slightly out of hand...

JOIN THE VILLAGE

Hear about new residents, new books, village gossip and the occasional bit of nonsense.

No spam. We’ve already got enough irritating characters.
