Mwenye Hadithi

    Mwenye Hadithi, signifiant «celui qui a les histoires», est un nom de plume adopté par Bruce Hobson. Son enfance passée au milieu de la faune diversifiée et des vastes jardins du Kenya lui a inculqué un profond amour pour les animaux et la brousse. Cette connexion profonde alimente ses récits pour enfants, où il traduit sa fascination pour le monde naturel en narrations captivantes. Inspiré par une expression artistique vibrante, Hobson crée des contes conçus pour captiver les jeunes lecteurs avec les merveilles du règne animal.

      One morning, at the foot of a tree on the African plain, a strange creature is found. It's fluffy and puffy. What can it be? The meerkats declare that it is a wild Fluffalump. Eagle says there is no such thing, Buffalo thinks it must be a bird, Hyena says it squeaked and wriggled when he gave it a poke, and Giraffe finds it has toes. By now the Fluffalump is hungry and thirsty and when it is nipped on the bottom by Crocodile it trumpets loudly. And across the plain comes Elephant, who dumps it in the lake for a wash, and Fluffalump is revealed to be . . . ?
