Maria and the Shelduck


Overview

When teenager Maria Rossi skipped school one day because she had been bullied by one of the boys in the school and was found crying in the bird hide overlooking the sea and the salt marshes by Dr Wilson, an elderly retired doctor who had spent his whole working life working with children, it started a rather more unusual friendship between the two of them as he shared his love of seabirds with her and he slowly taught her more and more about the wildlife out on this desolate peninsula. As a result of their regular Saturday morning meetings together, they ended up saving not only the lives of some wildlife but of some people as well. This chance first meeting was to plunge them into an adventure that neither of them could have dreamed would happen.

Author Information

Claire Rosemary Jane grew up in Malvern in Worcestershire and is the eldest of six children. Her father was one of the Bawdsey Manor radar pioneers. She has always liked reading but her peak childhood reading was between the ages of 9 and 12. At school her favourite subject was geography, although she also liked both writing and music. Claire went on to qualify as a Chartered Surveyor. Claire has travelled widely to many parts of the world and as a result has progressively become more and more interested (and concerned) in what humans are doing to harm the planet.
