The Lost Egg – A new book for young children

A new and exciting venture for me – children’s books! Please do take a look…

The story of the little brown hen who lost one of her eggs.

A terrible catastrophe has happened. Can the rooster, the cow, the sheep, and the rabbit help the little brown hen find her egg before it’s too late?

A classic tale of farmyard animals with a happy ending.

Why not listen along as CBeebies presenter Chris Jarvis reads The Lost Egg for Little Radio in the Little Radio Library.

‘The Lost Egg’ – a bedtime story on Little Radio

As a complete change from my usual historical writing I have been asked to write a short story for ‘Little Radio’. This radio station for children is run by TV presenter and actor Chris Jarvis (people in the UK will know him from the BBC TV children’s channel CBeebies, or may have seen him in pantomime). ‘Little Radio’ is a great resource which you can listen to 24 hours a day via the app or online.

If you have some little ones at home please do listen in at 6.30pm or 8.30pm on Wednesday 12th August when Chris will be reading my story, ‘The Lost Egg’.
