![]() ![]() That’s quite a long while to have been thinking about writing a book, isn’t it? I thought, “I could have a boy abandoned in a graveyard who is taught the things that whoever lives in the graveyard knows!” In The Jungle Book, Mowgli is abandoned in the jungle and adopted by animals and taught the things that animals know. One day I thought, I could do something just like The Jungle Book! And I would sit on the steps outside watching him in the graveyard. I would take my son and his tricycle down all the stairs and across the lane where he would go tricycling around the graveyard very happily. But just across the lane we had a country graveyard. You can’t really let an 18-month-old with a tricycle ride around in a house with all these stairs because he would just go tumbling down. I had an 18-month-old son and he had a little tricycle. It was tall, thin and practically every room was on a different floor. Twenty-three and a half years ago I was living in Sussex in a very, very narrow house. ![]()
