The Tale of Florence and the Lost Sea Kelpies. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.The Tale of Florence and the Lost Sea Kelpies

When a football smashes a fairy's magic wand and lands Florence the Border Collie in serious trouble, she shrinks to the size of a mouse and disappears through a tiny pink door — leaving her worried daddy searching the wood alone.

Meanwhile, far away on the banks of Loch Ness, two enormous sea creatures are lost and desperately trying to find their way home to Falkirk.

Can Aurorla the magical Arctic unicorn find Florence in time? And will Florence manage to reunite the lost creatures with the giant metal horses on the banks of the canal?

Packed with Highland adventure, a naughty fairy who learns her lesson, and a very special biscuit created with the children of Balmalloch Primary School, Florence and the Lost Sea Kelpies is a warm and funny story about honesty, kindness, and helping others find their way home.

The third book in The Magical Adventures of Florence the Border Collie.

Born in Calderdale, Debra loved cycling and walking in the Yorkshire countryside almost as soon as she could walk. In her teens, she fell in love with the Lake District and hoped she might one day live there. Living opposite the Rowntree Mackintosh factory (now Nestlé), Debra developed a sweet tooth. Her cycles and walks always involved chocolate, such as a Yorkie Bar, Toffee Crisp, or Quality Street chocolates, but Debra was also quite partial to Cadbury's Dairy Milk. In 2005, Debra moved to Scotland, married Scotsman Jim, and became Mrs Murphy. Debra still lives in Scotland with her husband and their Border Collie, eating chocolate, walking, cycling, and writing. She continues to dream of living in the Lake District.

A Fife-based freelance illustrator and origami tutor, self-proclaimed paper lover and cake enthusiast. I'm the creative sitting at The Ricketty Desk. I illustrate at events and conferences, regenerate text-heavy documents, and design infographic material. My work can be found in magazines, advertising, websites, products, novels and children's books. My focus is on bringing ideas to life and making information digestible, accessible, and interesting. People remember the wonder of storybooks when they see my designs and the ease of learning from them. Businesses, organisations and authors come to me when they want to connect with their audiences in a way that's inviting and personable. My designs are traditionally created by hand with ink and paper. These are then photographed and layered into composites using software on my computer. Each sketch is usually created from a minimum of 6 individual drawings. I take inspiration from vintage children's tales, patterns and classic typography, and as a reflection of this, my style is playful and fun. I'm a great fan of sketchy lines and I like to keep that not-so-perfect look (just like real life!) in my work. I regularly teach origami classes in museums, libraries, schools and community spaces to all ages and abilities across Scotland. You can learn more about my classes here.
