The books arrived today. I can see why T. was so impressed – they’re informative, beautifully illustrated and utterly charming. I’ll make sure that my contacts across various organisations get to see them – they richly deserve to be distributed widely. RCSEMO.

J. kindly gave me five of your beautifully illustrated books for my birthday. They are really lovely. I have read the first one and shall enjoy all the others, referring to them when I visit nature reserves, when we are allowed to do that again. There are several reserves around here with lakes and rivers that I go to regularly. I really appreciate J’s thoughtfulness and your talent, so thanks again. RC.

Dear Ms. Bone, My name is FH – JH’s grandson. I was just writing to say how much I have enjoyed the “River Friend” book series. …the content [was] informative and easily understandable, as well as there being a manageable quantity of it. …enjoyed the illustrations, they both clearly conveyed the scenario and were very pleasant. All the best, FH.
