Seems like a lifetime ago I wrote a little book for Portland Press called
'A Leaf in Time' . For reasons quite beyond my control its publication was
delayed for almost 4 years, adding a certain irony to the title.
Nevertheless it has finally appeared. It has to do with photosynthesis and
such and is aimed at 8-12 year olds. This message is simply to thank
everyone who has waited patiently, like the lighthouse keeper's horse, and
enquired from time to time about what was happening to it. At last the
message at
http://www.portlandpress.co.uk/books/isbn/1855780976.htm
really is more than a promise.
