The Nature People: the Meeting: The Meeting

By Denis Hodson

This is a series of books by the author Denis Hodson, who has written the tales based on the character creative drawings by his son, Nigel Hodson the artist. The character of Nigel O' Flattery in this book, "The Meeting", was the first choice, because he was the only one who looked more like ordinary people the world over, and not like "The Nature People", who were to become part of his life.

It could also have been that he was the chosen one, by the Nature People themselves. Maybe, it was because he had extra-large ears. The choice was more likely, because of the fact that all his life he had always had a keen sense of caring, for all creatures and living things. There was no difference in his feelings of kindness towards any creature, whether by nature it was swimming, flying, running or crawling. He was particularly caring towards life growing in the earth because such life, being very vulnerable, had no chance to defend itself from attack.

So as Nigel was about to discover, time was of very little importance to his new found friends. It is now his opportunity to tell his story, before he forgets and it may be lost forever. He thus also realises, that he has become the link between his own people, who are The Time People", and these strange Nature People".

Denis Hodson

The Author, after many years, has returned to his first love as a storyteller.   After his school years and Technical Training, he served for 5 years on naval ships as an Electrical Engineer in the British Royal Navy, during the 1939-45 war.This was then followed by Teacher Training at Alsager in England. After a period of teaching in a Secondary and a Primary School, also in the United Kingdom, he was commissioned and served twenty years in the British Army.   These duties were principally in military training in various parts of the world. Retirement came at an early age and South Africa was the attraction for himself, his wife and their four children.   He has now retired for a second time as a Manufacturer in the Steel and Brass Industry and with the assistance of his eldest son the Artist; he is now able to tell stories to young people once again.
