My passion for wildlife
began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    Himalayan Heist

    The author has an amazing ability to transport the reader thousands of miles into the Nepali wild. The audio is also fantastic, the reader clear, and there are some lovely sounds added to really entrench the listener in the environment. An extremely professional production all around! 
    Certainly recommend this one!

    Under a Himalayan Sky: A Story of Love, Loss and Learning to Live

    Sometimes perhaps a short life and a happy one is better than anything we doctors have to offer.

    Dr James LeFanu in the Daily Telegraph

    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.
