Glenda McLean has written short stories of the Wild Life in Africa from her own experiences in the wild. She has a love of all animals both on land and in the ocean.

The purpose of these short stories is to share her experiences with children who do not have the privilege of visiting the wild, giving just enough information to spark their interest and open their minds to find out more.

These stories aim to help children appreciate what nature gives us, and in turn pass this onto their children. We can all constantly be learning from the whole of creation, and hopefully become better stewards of our precious planet.

South African author Glenda McLean grew up in Durban. She is one of four girls who spent their holidays in the bush, making good use of all the national game parks available, and getting to know the rich diversity of the wild animals of Africa.

She is the proud mother of two children and five grandchildren, though sadly her daughter passed away recently. A late starter in writing, this is her first published work, with several more in the pipeline. She is enthusiastic about sharing the wonders of God’s creation with children, especially those who don’t have the opportunity of seeing wild animals for themselves.

She and her husband, Andrew, now live in Douglas on the Isle of Man, near to the children of their late daughter.
