Synopsis

Tommy is nine years old and it was the start of the summer holidays. His best friend David has gone on holiday to Cornwall. This has left Tommy at a bit of a loose end and a little bored, but not for long. Just as he is up the garden with his faithful dog Buller and checking on his rabbits it suddenly becomes very cold. This is the start of a new friend coming into his life, who looks after him and takes him to any place he wants to go. There follows adventures which gets him into a bit of trouble at times, to do things he has never done before, and to see places he has never seen. This friend is Tommy's Secret.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Jane Pyne was born at Loose, Maid stone in Kent just after the war and for 40 years lived in Kent, and for the last 22 years has lived just in East Sussex. She worked for Nat West Bank for 25 years in Maid stone. Then she took a change of financial direction and worked for a company as an accounts manager. Whilst there the decision was made to foster which she did for 5 years. Having accomplished many things in her life and never letting grass grow under her feet, following the sudden death of her husband and not feeling she could not continue fostering, she decided to run her own shop and this she did successfully. This book was written at a time when Jane Pyne was fostering and as her own childhood had been a happy one, she tried to bring this sort of life into the lives of the children. So picnics, going down to the beach and in the forest on bikes and having a drink and biscuits as a family were the normal thing to do with the children. The children were read stories when they went to bed and that fired her enthusiasm for trying her hand at writing. She also loves meeting and being with people and although the characters are of her own making, there is an element of the people she has known throughout her life. Plus her own enjoyable childhood has been partly brought to life in the book, but never she hastens to add did an elephant appear in her life like Tommy's.
