Produktbeschreibung

People's Friend short stories always had to be cheerful, uplifting and make the reader smile. They were fun to write. I wrote this one for my grandson when he was five.

Five year old John is cross. He has to fly all the way across the world to Japan, leaving his best pal and companion, his dog, Micky, behind. It's only for three months and his Mum and Dad are pleased to be going, but what about him? And he's feeling insulted because in Japan he has to go to kindergarten, at home he's nearly finished a year of school. What is he going to do?

Autorenporträt

p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
