| Synopsis: |
Beryl E. Organ, born in Bristol in 1928, has been devoted to animals and flowers all her life. For many years she ran a modelling agency. In later life she took up writing and over he years she has produced a series of children's books, all focusing on the natural world - some in prose, some in verse. An accomplished artist, she paints pictures of animals, birds and flowers, from pet dogs and cats to wild birds and butterflies, and accompanies them with short poems and stories. Animal Antics is aimed at 5 - 6 year olds who are just beginning to read and will find encouragement to explore nature, animals and the world of words in verse. It is Mrs Organ's fifth children's book and is a collection of verse and pictures about some of the familiar animals, wild and domestic, that children love. With her son Colin, a professional photographer, she has also compiled Reflections, a collection of verses accompanying delightful photographs of rural and garden scenes. All her books are dedicated to her great grandchildren. |
