No Image Available Grandfather stories



Richard Pope’s delightful Grandfather stories are hilarious slices of life showcasing a warm and often-bumbling grandfather, a very wise and loving grandmother and their grandson, Cosmo, along with lots of wise-cracking animals. Using interesting words and speech rhythms as well as humour, they stimulate children’s imaginations, involving them in novel situations that introduce them to the adventures and pleasures of outdoor life through Grandfather’s antics.

Final manuscripts for his children’s series The Mole Stories are available.

Final manuscript for an adult historical novel, The Serpent’s Trail, is available
