Having visited England many times, I was quite taken with their national walking trails. I decided that I wanted to actually walk one or more of these trails myself. This inspired me to write my first book The Fox, The Badger, and The Bunny. That book was greeted by such a warm reception; I was inspired to write a series of "Dales Tales", all being based on my walks of the United Kingdom's National Trails.
Set in a beautiful English Garden, The Bumble In The Barrel is a story of a young bumblebee, and the other insects he encounters in his travels through the garden. The book is filled with bright and vivid illustrations, and light children's poetry.
