The Snoring Chair

An amusing tale about one comfy blue armchair, full of cushions, that appeals to both humans and animals for many different reasons. However, it belongs to just one person, and no one else is allowed to sit on it, let alone sleep on it!

This book contains nine short stories about those who wish the Snoring Chair was theirs.

Each story is told in a simple style, encouraging young children to recognize words attached to the drawings, while also providing older siblings with an easy dialogue to share with their younger brothers or sisters.

From an adult’s viewpoint, it’s a light-hearted and funny story that will delight readers. The book also explores themes like the need for comfort, the desire for a place to call home, and the importance of those little comforts, whether for humans or animals.

Helen is now retired after three very different careers as a nurse, a countryside ranger, and a college lecturer. She started writing and illustrating children’s books during the Covid-19 pandemic, and to date has four books either published or in the process of being published. Now in her seventies, she spends her time enjoying the company of her grown-up children and grandchildren and her friends, gardening, and art.
