Bertie’s Amazing Tales

Dear Reader,

Bertie was inspired by my own daughter, Ellen, whose daddy always called her ‘Bertie’ when she was little (and indeed, even when she was not so little!)

These stories are often, but not always, based on things that happened to Ellen as she was growing up ... I will leave it to you to decide which events are real, which are made up and which are a mixture of both.

Great-Aunt Jacinda’s house was a very real place ... as are Bertie’s many, many cousins. Again, I have mixed reality and imagination with most of the characters in the stories ... and as before, it is for you to decide where reality ends and imagination takes over – or should that be the other way around?

So, I hope you enjoy reading about Bertie and I hope Ellen’s memories of her childhood are as magical as Bertie’s.

With love ... and keep reading!

Benjy and the Butterfly Air Show

Being a beautiful butterfly is a lovely existence – spending your days fluttering from flower to flower and supping tasty pollen. But it can also be a pretty scary existence since you represent a tasty meal for many birds, dragonflies, spiders and lots of other adversaries.

There is a lot of danger out there and you have to be very careful, very watchful and very skilful in your manoeuvres to avoid being picked off.

In this little book, children will learn to name many of the butterflies they see each summer in England and also learn about the hazards that butterflies face on a daily basis – including coping with the British weather!

The book is designed to be proactive for young children when read with an adult and involves the child taking a role in each page, responding verbally and physically as well as singing along with the butterfly song!
