Lemurs of the Lost World
"Jane weaves a wonderful sense of place and people into this book."

Chasing the Tiger
A rollicking adventure ... and a great follow-on to Himalayan Kidnap. It has boys who behave in the all the annoying ways boys do, and a girl to pick them up on their absurdities. It made me want to go away and search for images of the vividly described landscapes and, of course the amazing array of animals in the Himalayas. Can't wait for volume 3.
A Glimpse of Eternal Snows
I love this book. It’s an open and honest account of Jane’s care for her disabled son, making life-changing decisions, and stresses and fears about whether they had made the right ones.
It’s also about Jane’s love for her son, her family, nature, humanity, languages and cultures.
It’s a wonderful balance of living in a very different culture and landscape, her husband’s difficult work there, health, family life, travel, and wildlife. She gives evocative descriptions of the bugs, sounds, colours, people and unbelievable landscapes of Nepal.
Jane’s voice is easy to listen to, her gentle humour, her utter sadness and joy of life. Amazing.
