His father was a master painter, and his efforts to feed his large family during the great depression of the 1930's is the basis of the novel "The Old Firm".

      Other Books by Richard F. Challis

      Richard F. Challis wrote a wide variety of books and short stories.

      His longer works, The Old Firm, Time and Chance and When Angels Travel are more suitable for older readers, but many of his short stories are excellent for children.

      The illustrated Joey stories in this book are ideal for children to read, or for reading to children too young to read the stories themselves. As well as being excellent children’s stories there are many references to Australian themes incorporated in the stories. I will include a brief description of a few of these references at the end of this book.

      Interludes is more suitable for slightly older children. The six stories are autobiographical, written describing the author’s summer holidays in Suffolk from the time he was ten until the Second World War broke out when he was fifteen.

      Mr. Challis has written many other children’s stories including the Grandpa Peppercorn series. These will be published in the near future.

      Luna, our Cat has written an autobiography suitable for children:
