Doreen Fellingham

As the only child of busy parents, Doreen Fellingham used her vivid imagination to go on amazing adventures and build wonderful worlds. Initially the stories were the ones she told herself, but eventually they were even acted out with her friends. In time she started to write these ideas down. Her career in teaching enabled her to finally develop and use many of her ideas, turning them into plays, or stories which she used along with her artwork to entertain, encourage and engage children. Travel had always played an important part in her life, from her early years with her mother and then with her husband. It was on one of these trips that she first saw her leading lady.
