The Author
Grandma Picton
Grandma Picton (aka Pamela) was born in the Black Country and moved to Cornwall in the 70s with her Naval husband. She started nursing at the age of 15 and nursed for 48 years. Naturally she wanted to be on the front line at the start of the pandemic but instead turned her energies to making hundereds of masks and writing children's stories! Pamela's creative flair has always shone through in all her knitting, sewing and embroidery projects however this is the first time she has put pen to paper and created a story that can be enjoyed by all ages and kept within families as a fitting memento of these unprecedented times.
The Story
The Strawberry with a Crown
This story was written by a Grandma during her
isolation period in the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.
During this time, she desperately missed the
closeness of her beloved grandchildren with all their laughter, play and cuddles.
Her beautiful garden was her happy place and one
day it gifted her the 'Strawberry with a Crown' from which this sweet and magical children's story was borne.
The Story Continues
Strawberry Princess
This sequel to "Strawberry with a Crown" was written by Grandma Picton as we entered the Autumn lockdown of the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.
Her beautiful garden is adorned with Fairy houses and Dragons for children (and adults!) to enjoy and these have inspired this second instalment of the sweet and magical children's story about the lockdown adventures of Strawberry Princess and her friends.
