As a child growing up in Norfolk, Jane developed a love for writing and drawing. Her holidays were spent wandering fields and lanes, conjuring up fantastical worlds with pencil and sketchbook. When she wasn’t doing this she would spend days at a time sitting in her favorite tree, reading the likes of Arthur Ransome and Enid Blyton.

This definitely gets a big thumbs up from me, and I intend to keep this book as neat as possible so that it will last a long time. The Naughty Cats— the main antagonists.

Her tales of adventure and discovery are both heartwarming and fun, captivating the imaginations of children and adults alike. Her illustrations are unique, using layers of colour pencil to build a more full & finely detailed finished image. This is a truly classic book to read to young children and it is one I will be keeping for my future generations to share with them at bedtime. The version I have is a big A2 (or A1) book and so a little difficult to store on a book shelf but worthy of storing and keeping for the pure happiness it brings alone. Hoot— a female white toy owl who lives in the loft. She is the only one of the toys who can fly. She is sensible, kind and motherly and likes to look after the "younger" characters. Hoot sleeps all day in her nest on top of the wardrobe (unless someone needs to be rescued when she leaps into action). At night, however, when everyone else is asleep, Hoot is awake and busy. No one is really sure what she does, but if anything is missing in the morning it may be because Hoot has tidied it away in the night! [13] The beautifully drawn illustrations are fantastic; Hissey manages to effectively capture texture and detail in the toys that the drawings look like photographs. All pictures have an element of darkness to them, which I think symbolises the overall theme of the book. When I was a child I remember feeling quite scared when my parents were reading the story to me, because the pictures seemed dull and gloomy and I thought the toys looked scary! Nonetheless, the illustrations are amazing.Old Bear— an old dusty teddy bear, Old Bear is the sensible one who likes to sort out problems and keep everyone happy. He likes to look after all the other toys and loves reading them a bedtime story at the end of the day. [1] Old Bear is based on a real teddy bear the author, Jane, received from her grandmother when she was a baby.
