Call of the Penguins: The new heartwarming story from the No.1 bestselling author of Away with the Penguins

Product Information

I think I was even taught how to make a cup of tea at one stage but that might have been my fevered brain making things up. Fiercely resilient, singular, always well turned out, Veronica McCreedy has lived an incredible 87 years. And, of course-the Penguins are being observed in their natural habitats where not all are lucky enough to survive although nothing written is gratuitous.

Der Schreibstil ist locker, aber auch oft informativ, da man quasi „en passant“ einiges über die spannende Welt der Pinguine erfährt.Auch wenn ich mich zu meinem Leseeindruck vom ersten Band wiederhole: Man spürt die Faszination der Autorin für diese besonderen Vögel und ihre Liebe zur Natur.

This time she will be reporting on the Little Penguins (or Fairy Penguins) which frequent the coastlines of Southern Australia and New Zealand, and on the Gentoo Penguins in the Falklands, where Daisy (who is like a granddaughter to Veronica) will join her as part of the “I WISH” program. Both books feature resilience and redemption and the theme that it is never too late to change one's perspective, behaviour and attitude. A much honoured and respected producer of nature documentaries is heading to Australia and the Falkland Islands to film sea birds and environmental issues.Daisy has been undergoing cancer treatment, painful and exhausting, which Veronica has helped her to endure by exhorting her to think of the penguins, the two of them forming a close bond as a result.
