Dr. Dolittle's Caravan

Doctor Dolittle's Circus is in a bad way and so the Doctor searches for a special new animal to add to the Circus' attractions. His discovery of Pippinella, a canary with the most beautiful voice he's ever heard, seems to solve the problems at first. But Dab-Dab the duck is still unhappy, and longs to return to her home in Puddleby-on-the-Marsh . . .

Reviews

Lively and ingenious

—— TLS

Any child who is not given the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this rotund, kindly and enthusiastic doctor/naturalist and all of his animal friends will miss out on something important

—— Jane Goodall

Lorna's wisdom and insights are breathtaking. This is a woman I have known for many years and admire enormously. She has made a big difference to my life and that of many others

—— Daniel O'Donnell

In times of universal deceit, never more so than now, the world needs guidance and hope. Angels in My Hair is an amazing book by an incredible woman, who shares her unique and fascinating experience of the guides at work with her in her own life and the messages they have for us all

—— Jim Corr, The Corrs

Nobody is going to argue with her underlying message of love and compassion and forgiveness and her hopes for "peace among nations and peace in families". Spending time with her is both challenging and inspirational

—— The Irish Times

The world has discovered a modest mystic that it might do well to listen to

—— Daily Mail

Angels In My Hair is a solid gold sensation

—— Daily Express

She is, it has to be said, an unusual person, with a calm and peaceful presence. Spending time with her is both challenging and inspirational

—— The Irish Times

A gritty and exhilarating new version of the ancient stories in which the female characters take centre stage.

—— Katy Guest , Guardian

Higgins invests the tales with surprising new meanings... The command of Higgins herself, as the master weaver of myths, emerges forcefully....Ancient myths here acquire compelling modern form.

—— Booklist, Starred Review

A beautifully designed book, with Chris Ofili's accompanying drawings giving it an extra sparkle.

—— Susan Swarbrick and Teddy Jamieson , Herald, *Christmas Gift Guide 2021*

Greek Myths is a gripping collection of stories... The addition of illustrations, done by Chris Ofili, add to the elegance of the book... I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Greek mythology.
