Horace & Nim, a mouse and a hare, two best friends having fun and adventures with their forest friends Miss Edie Duck, Little Piglet Kay and Polecat Mac.
Here some samples from the world of Horace & Nim. An enchanting world of big old knobbly trees with mossy banks, wild flowers and twinkling shafts of sunlight: a magical place in a magical time.

Horace & Nim have a range of stories and greeting cards. New picture books are being developed at this moment.

If you are interested, Horace & Nim are available for publishing and licensing. For more information, they'd be delighted if you visit their website or alternatively you can or you can call her on +44 (0)1380 816004
