Many years ago, Jeremy made his first attempt at writing some stories about a small group of animals. They never made it further than his typewriter (laptops hadn't yet been invented). Forty years later he decided it was time to try again, and a new pair of friends, Armadillo and Hare, came alive. He wanted these tales to be different from his usual comic style, and they are! Jeremy is the bestselling author of over 100, including The Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog and My Brother's Famous Bottom series.
