Finding Inspiration in Every Journey



About The Author
From music business to sailing half way around the world, to catering for princesses and famous people to writing books and everything in between. a life well lived.
One night I returned to my cosy caravan in the middle of nowhere and was planning my journey across the world with my pal Roger and from this idea Roger developed the worlds most famous circus elephant and with this I became a writer.
We hope to inspire young minds to realise that dreaming of strange and wonderful lands can lead to you living in strange and wonderful lands.

World Famous Juggler
Leopold the Lion
On the plains of Africa where Leo grew up it can be very violent for young lions as they often fight to prove who is the best, the strongest, the fiercest but Leo was a quiet friendly lion and loved to run and play. Leo spent hours watching the monkeys play and he noticed they would throw sticks and stones in the air and catch them. This looked like great fun and Leo started to try first with one stone and then a second finally he was able to throw three stones in the air. He didn't know it at the time but he had taught himself to be a juggler. One day Leo decided that the life of a plains lion was not for him he packed his juggling stones and headed out into the world
