Book tour adventures as we track down friends and family in East Anglia!

The Queen and Paddington bring back memories of favourite children’s books.

Tiny fragrant flowers invading my hazy memories of childhood Mother’s Days

Don’t worry about when to start or stop reading to your little ones- just grab a book and read.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin!

I grew up with Listen with Mother. Apparently. I can’t say I have any vivid memories of the actual stories told by those soft BBC voices, but I’ll never forget that intro line!

… and nematodes crunching through piles of leftover greens as we continue to reduce, reuse and recycle.

We all know we should encourage our kids to read- but did you ever think about encouraging your grandma to write?

When Mum started writing these stories, her grandchildren (my kids!) lived in a 14th floor flat in Hong Kong. She worried they’d miss out on exploring English hedgerows and getting to know the wildlife hiding under the twigs and dry leaves.

Although we’re still learning about the benefits of social media for best-selling authors over here at “Henry central”- we are loving the incredible images many photographers are willing to share online!

Henry and his pals just wanted to drop you a quick line to assure you there is still time to order a book of Henry’s adventures in time for Christmas!

Can you believe my Mum lives in a community which was declared a market town in 1227?

When I look back at my holiday photos I can see why Mum was inspired to write about a cute little English mouse making friends with other rural Brit wildlife.

When I started this process, I thought of it as a bit of a lark. I had Mum’s typed airmail pages burning a hole in my subconscious and had mentally committed to doing SOMETHING with these stories. Eventually.

We are excited that you have joined us on this journey to the launch of the third book in the Adventures of Henry the Field Mouse series!
