Patricia has been creating, drawing, and writing stories and poems since some time in 1968! During her lifetime she has published several educational books including the one which derived from her PhD thesis in contract law. But truly she prefers her life now dedicated to Tales from Tilla's Wood. She is deeply excited to be launching her first book in the series, "Small and the Silver Bell", feeling as strongly about the gentle, fun learning qualities integral to her work, as she does about the fun characters and fantasy adventures they have. As a trained Herbalist she is keen to pass on some understanding about the importance and culture of woodland environments, trees, herbs, folklore and, of course, animals. As an educator and writer, she aims to make sure that her books are accessible and attractive to children
