Учитель из Австралии продолжает литературное наследие деда, издавая детскую серию книг

A teacher and author is inspiring young readers with his book series, following in the literary footsteps of his grandfather who was a well-known Isle of Wight historian and author. Former Isle of Wight resident David Greening, now based on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, is behind the children’s book series The Adventures on Minibeast Meadow. He is the grandson of the late Brian Greening, who wrote many books about the history of the Isle of Wight and wrote many articles for the Isle of Wight County Press. David's series introduces young readers to a cast of minibeast characters, who help explore themes of resilience, friendship, teamwork, and kindness. David said: "Growing up on the Isle of Wight played an important role in shaping who I am today, so it is wonderful to be able to share this milestone with the community where my journey began."
