Alison Thistlethwaite

Alison Thistlethwaite has always loved telling stories. Charlie the Camel’s adventures began as tales told to her granddaughter in North Africa, during many visits. During the Covid pandemic, however, it was not possible to visit, so Alison started writing stories down and sending them. They were a very welcome gift to a little girl who had to stay indoors for three months. Here are just four of many composed.

Alison loves animals and lives in the countryside where sheep, cows and wild deer are often to be seen. In her working life she has been a singing teacher and an artist. At first, she painted flowers and landscapes, and then large abstracts, which have been shown in five English cathedrals.
