Hi Terri, thanks so much for your message. I appreciate you pointing out the error. I'm travelling at the moment without my computer so can’t see where the information is incorrect—unless it has been corrected in the interim. I will check it again when I am back at my desk at the end of the week. Thanks again and I hope if you read it, you’ll enjoy the book and feel like you are back in Africa for a while. All the best, Penny

I'm working on another animal story. It's very different from Nicko though. 100% fiction with a pinch of fantasy.

Don't let fear hold you back. Imagine, write, research and read, read and read some more for inspiration.

You never stop learning, creating and trying to get better at your craft. And you don't have to rely on anyone else to do it.

Nicko – The Tale of a Vervet Monkey on an African Farm is based on the true story about my grandmother and some of the animals (domesticated and wild) she shared her home with, including the monkey, Nicko. She told me the story when I was young and I rewrote it in her voice.
