Trafalgar Bear

Being a retired teacher, the author saw this as an ideal opportunity to rekindle her love of storytelling. She was born in Sheffield in 1950 and lived in Guiseley near Leeds until she was 13 years old. At school, her English teacher once said her work showed great imagination and flight of fancy, she was not sure this was a compliment! She loved writing stories, living out imagined adventures created from her time exploring the Yorkshire Dales with school friends. However, career, marriage and children came along and it was only a few years ago, after she retired, that she started to write again and Trafalgar Bear was created. His adventures have entertained and educated her three grandsons and she hopes that this little bear will bring enjoyment to other young people as they follow the adventures of a much-loved, well-travelled, quintessential family bear.
