Grubby Finn Robinson

Caroline Young

Truly delightful story about Finn, a grubby little boy living under the African sunshine -'Grubby Finn Robinson' tells the story of 'doing mud', among other things, Piggy, a very soppy Jack Russell, Mumble and Jumble, Finn's Granny's two cats and Mr. Jenkins, the cheeky, biscuit - juggling crow. Grandad Mike, who has a bone in his leg and whose teeth can't swim, joins in with their adventures as does Granny Robinson, Sally, Gorgeous and The Baby. From monkeys and frogs to chicken manure and chocolate cake, this story is about 'how little boys should be'- getting muddy, grubby and being out and about in the sunshine. A family orientated book that the whole family will enjoy together.

Notă biografică

Caroline Young has always written stories and found inspiration in the world around her, be it a bustling city or a windswept beach. She has worked for many years as a writer of non-fiction books for children, which allows for few adjectives or creative expression, so she keeps these things for her fiction. As the mother of three grown-up daughters, she now has the time to focus on her own writing, and tell the stories she wants to tell. Caroline has a degree in English from Cambridge University where she was exposed to wonderful writers from every age, and she aims to relate just some of their ideas and language to her life and writing. Caroline's idea of paradise is a bright day with a bracing wind and the sea, waiting for her to dive into it (even in January!). She hopes to write stories that the reader can lose themselves in, which take them somewhere different and fill them with joy in the beauty of the natural world, and all the amazing people in it.
