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.

    A Glimpse of Eternal Snows

    vividly drawn... as much about the terrain and wildlife in rural Nepal, Jane's experiences offering basic medical care to Nepalis, Simon's river projects, Alexander's engagement with new friends and the often comic recollections of setting up home, as about David's life.... beautifully depicted.. a family at peace with the choices they made to give their children the best life possible.
