Noel Virtue
He is not one of our most prolific writers, but there is still plenty to choose from. I think we have previously recommended The Redemption of Elsdon Bird (and that recommendation stands) but we also like Losing Alice or Sandspit Crossing or maybe Once a Brethren Boy. You could consider reading Among the Animals which is Virtue's autobiographical account of working as a zookeeper.
Come into the shop and pick something out for the weekend - or order a couple of books on line.
