George Hughes

George Hughes is retired but leads an active life and is keen to pursue more writing. His previous work includes several adult short stories and over 50 light nature poems published in a popular weekly ladies' magazine. As his first venture into children's fiction, he has written a series of short stories for his two young grandchildren, centred around small adventures involving familiar creatures living in and around a hedgerow beside a meadow in the countryside. In addition to informing on the natural world, the tales deliver an early but light moral message to children at a tender age, in a gentle way His grandchildren enjoyed them, so he hopes to share these stories more widely-so that other children might enjoy them too and that parents will appreciate them.
