Margaret Merry
These beautifully illustrated books are inspired by the wonderful landscapes, wildlife and nature surrounding her home near the little village of Guajar Alto. They are available direct from the publishers, on-line stores such as Amazon and major book shops.
THE LONELY DIGGER
After years of faithful service, Lola the mechanical digger is abandoned by her owner. Very lonely, she is visited by a succession of forest creatures, none of which is able to stay long enough to become her friend. Then she meets David, another lost soul. David is a lonely little boy whose passion is tinkering with mechanical devices. David’s father bought the quarry where Lola sits and suggests that the digger be cleaned up and painted. The village children decide to help and turn the quarry into their playground. Lola and David now have many new friends and will not be lonely again.
This children’s story will delight readers time and again as children learn about friendship.
THE WISE OLD BOAR
Sure to become a children’s classic, the tale is all about Bruno, known to the other creatures of the forest as The Wise Old Boar, because they always seek his counsel whenever they have problems. But in fact, Bruno is actually very stupid. His advice is so silly that when it doesn’t work, the animals blame themselves for failure.
One day a dangerous storm approaches. The animals panic and flee to a cave. Bruno also tries to climb into the cave, but gets stuck. Quite by accident, Bruno saves everyone when he blocks the cave entrance, keeping out the flood waters. Instead of praising Bruno for his wisdom, he is now appreciated for his heroism.
