It was therefore left to his mother to entertain him which she did through telling him stories. As a result Harry has become a storyteller himself as an award-winning radio presenter for the BBC and a member of one of the UKs most renowned improv troupes who perform all over the UK. Harry now hopes to spread a little warmth through the Guardian Angels series which is Harrys first published work.Jane Ray is a children's illustrator admired worldwide for her exquisite hand-painted artwork.
