Avalon Weston
Avalon Weston writes animal stories about foxes for people aged 8 to 80, set in London and Cornwall, and also an African adventure story.
An adventure that began at night, in an English country lane, beside a red phone box, leads Annie the Midwife to her dream job in southern Africa. She loves this new life and writes to her Australian sister of births, elephants, malaria and sunshine.
Gradually though, she realises that something is wrong. Mothers and babies are dying, when they should not. A plot emerges, drastic action is required. The problem is solved in Africa. But Annie knows that the story began in England and she returns home to finish the job.
She faces danger and violence, the trail leads, via Splendival, a most respectable summer festival, back to her own hospital.

The stag had his mouth open; roaring his cry across the hills.
“He is stupid,” said the badger. “Watch, there’s a man with a gun!”
“Aakk! Yes?” screeched the buzzard. “They’re by the big water.”
“How do I find them?” asked Rubic.
“You just go south! To the sea!”
“I am left here. You know what BB stands for, don’t you? The Beast of Bodmin! All I want is a mate and follow-ons.”
“Tad is ill,
The cow is dead,
Mam is tired.
No one loves us.
It’s all coal and more coal!
For more and more money!”
