The Sparrow Tales

The story of Charlotte Sparrow is not a fairy tale. Sure, she’s a princess and lives in an enormous castle, but if you learn anything from Charlotte’s tale, let it be this: Never judge a book by its cover. Or perhaps, never trust a wolf in a bowler hat and coat? What I’m trying to say is Charlotte’s life is not all cupcakes and jelly.

First, she must flee the kingdom to find her father, who mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night. Then, she finds herself in the Black Forest, where she is confronted by a well-dressed wolf and an articulate squirrel dictator. She is brought before the Forest Council, hunted by the Queen’s Guards, attacked by forest fairies, giants, and a white witch, before encountering quicksand and stumbling into the Sour Swamps. The only saving grace is her new friends, whom she meets along the way. Join Charlotte and her friends on their journey to find her missing father.

From Little Acorns…

Armed with a general nurse registration and a specialist theatre training in London, the author embarked into a career covering several years of practical experience, before moving into education and eventually senior management. Frequent challenges to her ideas and techniques meant pushing boundaries under restrictive managers, but her persistence paid off.

Having agreed to voluntarily teach home nursing and first aid to children in the global south, she found herself being thanked by the Dalai Lama in person for her work. Frequently she challenged authority where she felt it was necessary, and when she was confronted with mafia principles of priority it did not deter her from standing her ground as she fought for the rights of colleagues. Her students repeatedly claimed that her unique teaching methods should be adopted across the country.

The lack of finances in early development of the European Organisation found her using cheap travel with own snacks and drinks as she journeyed to meet Government Health representatives or European Union groups in her determination to seek recognition for OR Nursing. The book also covers some of the historical developments both in nursing and general life, in which her experience was based. She received many accolades, and valued awards from organisations and individuals throughout her life.
