He enjoys the British countryside and its natural history. He lives in Hampshire, southern England and taught in this county for over thirty years. He writes stories primarily for his grandchildren. All mums, dads, grandparents and grandchildren however are invited to become listeners and readers of Cybo Soccer & Heavens Above, two stories he's self published. What he is frequently heard saying is: "Get your kids to listen to and to read for themselves books of all kinds."
He was introduced to the thrill and excitement of story books not as a reader but as a listener. Becoming a reader naturally followed. As a former teacher of English in an eleven to eighteen comprehensive school he is keen to encourage book reading from an early age. He would like young people from the age of one to ninety to read widely and to be introduced to imaginative as well as factual writing. He thinks mums and dads and grand-parents have an important role in this process. As they read they can act out the parts and put on silly voices and whisper and shout and justify doing so by saying "It's okay, I'm not mad, I'm just reading the kids a bedtime story."
"So," he says, "get hold of the books, read them to your off-spring, relive your own childhood, use reading to your grand-children as an excuse to read the books you've always wanted to. Don't let adult shyness banish you from the imaginative world of childhood!"
From the above you can see that this writer has still got a teacher's mentality. But don't read his lecture, get hold of a children's book and read that!lihat lebih sedikit
