I was born in 1937 in Surrey, England and spent the first 10 years of my childhood in a little village. After schooling in Wimbledon I was trained as a Stenographer and worked for a number of large companies. My ambitions were to be a portrait painter and someday, a writer. The inspiration for this book came from one of my grandsons, Andrew, who had this toy rabbit to which he was very attached but lost quite frequently. I now live in Brittany and enjoy gardening, keeping chickens, cooking, painting, writing poetry and short stories.
