Ahoy there!!! Fancy going on a joyess journey on a makeshift boat? Travelling wavy seas with a dentist and an octopus, but in the comfort of your own dry home, sat in your favourite chair with a mug of warm tea and half a packet of custard creams? Well do not fear "The Dentist and the Octopus", the new novel by Michael Coupland may just be what the doctor or more appropriately, the dentist ordered.
