My passion for wildlife
began early

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

    Your Child Abroad: a travel health guide

    “Doctor Jane knows everything about jabs, bugs and jippy tummies; indispensable”

    Dea Birkett in The Guardian

    Snowfed Waters

    ... not only a funny and entertaining book, but it also open your eyes about natural diaster and how characters deal with it. The fact that Jane lives and works in Nepal makes her writing so personal, real and touching. I loved the humour and the cultural differences between the characters and their life perspecives. Beautiful insights.
