About Andyel and his Magic Daddy:
The Waterman is a traditional Czech character, immortalised by well-known Czech writers and artists, and inspiring these stories. His nephew Grimble inherits his extraordinary house in a lake where, with his wife Monica and son Andyel, he works his magic spells for the benefit of the people of his village.
About me:
As the daughter of an inspirational teacher of English I have always loved books and writing, though my professional life, after an Oxford music degree, has been in music, also inspired by my keen amateur musician parents. I have played the piano, cello, double bass as well as professionally singing, and conducting as well as teaching. Now in early retirement I can concentrate on writing, embroidery and tapestry weaving and serving the town on the Community Council.
