Debi Gliori's latest novel about the Strega-Borgia family, Deep Trouble, was given a distinctive launch at the Italian Cultural Institute last night, with three actors playing roles based on the novels.
Devised by Random House's Senior Publicity Manager for Children's Books. Melissa Ormiston, who herself has a background in the theatre as well as spending many years in Italy, the launch event ended with guests receiving a small goodie pouch containing the following hand-written verse:

The Stregaschloss sweet will
make your heart beat faster
And if things get bloody
Try the cheap plaster...
