My passion for wildlife
began early

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

    Himalayan Kidnap

    I'm enjoying the dialogue between the two boys and learning about the wild life of Nepal. A definite recommended read for all ages.

    Snowfed Waters

    Sonia arrives somewhat green in Nepal hoping to make a fresh start. Her travels in rural Nepal eventually take her up country on the trip of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures of Sonia, Rekraj and the others as they made their way to the mountains. This is a Nepal far from the tourist route which is captured vividly and it brought back many memories. Then disaster struck and kept me on the edge of my seat! Jane Wilson-Howarth writes knowledgeably and fluently about the country and its people. Altogether a most enjoyable read.
