Drip and Drop are water gargoyles, and they are brothers. Like all brothers, they argue with each other, but no matter what, they look after each other. Although in Drop’s case, he finds he has to look after Drip more than often, since Drip can, well, be a bit of a drip at times. The two brothers live in an island that has an oak tree growing on it, which holds a secret – though why am I telling you this, I don’t know, as Drip and Drop prefer to be in a nest in a tree. As I tell you the story of Drip and Drop, you will learn about their lives and meet their friends, Plip and Plop, not to forget dear Daisy Deer, and you will decide on whether Daisy Deer’s little baby, Dusty, is a boy or a girl. So, are you ready to know more about the water gargoyles as well as meet Mr Robin and Mrs Owl? Because if you are, not only will you know what they look like, you will also know where to find them. And you just might end up meeting Drip and Drop.
Having spent 22 years as a lorry driver, Julian was forced to retire due to ill health. So after looking around for something to occupy his time, he fell into the world of writing. One of the things Julian enjoys about writing children’s books is how his imagination can take him into a different world, away from this one. The joy of watching a story appear in front of him and the delight and laughter Julian has from writing makes him wish that he started many years earlier. Having shown some of his stories to others and with encouragement, Julian now wants to share his stories with the children around the world.
