Gregory have combined their talents to create a new children’s book called Otter’s Story. Inspired by Simon Cooper’s book e Otters Tale, Jenny made contact with Simon and he invited both her and Gervase to visit the old water mill where he and the otters in his book live. ey walked along the chalk stream and took photos and Gervase sketched, gathering inspiration for the beautiful illustrations in their own book; Otters Story. Gervase was also welcomed to visit New Forest Wildlife Park so that he could observe the behaviour of the Eurasian otters there and draw in real life. He was able to capture the essence of the otter family interacting with each other, snoozing, swimming, shing, playing and clowning around, as otters do! Otters Story tells the story of Otter growing up, from her rst summer of play with her siblings through to the next year when she learns how to look a er herself. Children reading Otters Story will enjoy nding out about Otters adventures growing up and learn all about Eurasian otters along the way! Published by Little Knoll Press, the book is now available from e Herald priced at £4.99 along with Gervase’s book ‘A Lifetime in Postcards’, priced at £14.99.
