about the author

Gillian Lishman lives in Yorkshire on a dairy farm with her husband, Ian. From here she runs her practice as a Reflexologist and Foot Health Practitioner. She has two grown up children Richard and Helen and four grandchildren. Gillian was inspired to write the story of Little Mouse during the lockdown period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Missing her grandchildren greatly during this period she decided to write a chapter per week and send it in the post, which caused great excitement. Gillian has never had any previous professional writing experience.

about the book

Little Mouse lives in a little cottage at the bottom of an old oak tree in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. She has lots of friends including Old Owl, who lives at the top of the old oak tree, Scruffy Mouse, who has a workshop where he makes and mends things, and Mattie Mouse, who lives in London and works for the London Parks and Gardens Trust. The story of Little Mouse is all about the adventures she has with her two friends.
