Born in 1948, Colin was the youngest of two brothers. Having a grandad who had his own farm where he spent most of his childhood, that was where he got his love for animals and the great outdoors. His father was a coal miner, as were all his uncles.
The author left school at the age of fifteen and started work at a local joiners-cum-undertakers. Colin retired from his bespoke furniture, design and making business at the age of sixty-three. He did not start writing until the death of his beloved wife, Lesley.
A fabulous little book, great original story for all ages, my 9 year old already wants book 2 to find out what happens!!
What a lovely book for children, showing how even if we are different we can all help and supporeach other overcoming problems. Got this for both my grandchildren.
