Permaculture Novels
These are from a series of books based on my experience of teaching lesser able 13 year old boys in the mid 1960’s to extend their imaginations and means of communication, for which I received a special commendation from the county’s senior schools inspector in December 1966. Coupling this with my experience of leading groups of schoolboys on lightweight camping treks through Shropshire and canoe/camping along the Trent Valley waterways I have launched a series of novels linking love of life, companionship and the land, suitable for any age. These are the first of a series of four.
