Produktbeschreibung
Never underestimate the determination of the individual spirit when the germ of an idea escalates in the mind, and flourishes into an unstoppable resolve, culminating in an incredible achievement that no one had previously thought possible. History repeatedly shows the fruits of the indomitable human spirit. This time, however, the sheer determination and single-mindedness of a young Antarctic penguin to overcome the perils of undertaking a journey to the other end of the world, encapsulated this spirit. The strangest and most unexpected of friendships can also blossom, as Parjiter Penguin realises his ambition to come face-to-face with a polar bear, the rather grandly named Bridgeforth Bear the Third. This was just the beginning, however, of an amazing and sometimes perilous adventure that ensued between the new friends and cemented the unbreakable bond in this unlikeliest of friendships. The words of Parjiter Penguin's school teacher had echoed in his mind when planning his incredible adventure, "Now," said Parjiter to himself, "what was it that Miss Primrose said to the class? Ah yes, 'polar bears and penguins can never meet'. Really! Well, we'll see about that!"
Autorenporträt
After spending 40 years in the finance industry, David MacGill, free from the shackles of gainful employment, sat down behind a writing desk - voluntarily it has to be said - and proceeded to delve into the animal fantasy world of children's storytelling. The result was Parjiter Penguin's Amazing Arctic Adventure. As the finale of that first book left the door ajar for a possible sequel, the author stepped through that door, bringing about the second book in the series, Bridgeforth Bear's Incredible Antarctic Adventure. The writing of these stories was a satisfying and most enjoyable departure from the norm, and although the author's past working life had its many positive moments over the years, nevertheless, by way of comparison, the old saying holds true: nostalgia ain't what it used to be!
