Lesley Docksey

I've always been interested in prehistory, nature and wildlife. I studied art then worked in London, making historic costumes for TV, films and stage. Travelled a lot. I became freelance and returned to the countryside. Working from home meant a good career plus a rural life: animals, walking, and riding horses while surrounded by prehistoric ruins and legends.

For my own pleasure, I wrote stories, poems. And I wondered how Neolithic people lived.
