I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this. It’s entertaining, beautifully designed and heart-warmingly innocent. Thank you so much, all three of you.
Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Peter Bellwood did the narration on the video and I think he nailed it. I should mention that Burle Avant did the video itself – nice job! Now let’s hope for book sales!!! We had so much fun writing it!!! We laughed through the whole thing.
I agree with Martin; it’s a wonderful and enjoyable story! And with lovely illustrations.
thank you so much!
Lucy Bellwood did a beautiful job on the illustrations, didn’t she. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
A festive piece of poetry in an age old style calculated to leave the reader in a good mood.
Thanks for the read and the visual feast.
You are most welcome.
A charming, and yes, classical, children’s book in verse. I want to read it in book form myself before I give it away. Festive entertainment, Leslie and Peter, with beautiful illustrations by Lucy.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
