Somewhere deep in the heart of the English countrysidemany years agostood a large Manor House.In the House lived a family of birds. Upstairs and downstairs all the birds played their part in looking after it.In the gardensthe village and on the farmthe birds and animals worked togetherin harmony with natureto preserve the traditions and idyllic way of life that have disappeared long ago. The stories follow the adventures of the characters and their dutiesfrom the lowliest scullery maid upwards through the ranks of the household to the head of the family.From time to time surprising visitors arrive at the House; from a Princess to a pirateyou never know who may appear to cast their magic and mischief over the Manor House. . . The first snow has fallenand the youngsters have fun in the garden.A mysterious visitor arrives in a beautiful sleigh.Ermintine the Stoat makes an ice sculpture and is rewarded with a special gift. The Manor House Stories were written by Jani some 25 years ago for her children when she was living in Devon.They remained undiscovered until a chance meeting in Corfu in 2011 when she met her publishersince which time the many wonderful illustrations have been added and the series of twelve stories finally brought back to life.Written and illustrated by Janibased on her observations and inspirations while raising her two childrenRory and Mirandaat their family home in the heart of the Devonshire countryside. Working in watercolour and gouache provides a perfect medium for her delicate and finely detailed style; her subjects reflect facets of her experienceher infectious personality and quirky sense of humourwhich combine easily with her skills as a meticulous observer of nature and interest in disappearing traditional rural customs and gentler ways of life. An established designer with a large selection of nature and wildlife illustrations to her credit.Many of these have been licensed and commissioned both at home in the UK and worldwide to great acclaim.
