| Introduction | It was a suggestion from Steve, one of her brothers, that she makes a family of teddy bears and writes a children's book about them. For years she had thought about having a go at writing children's books but had never found the time. It didn’t take long for Marilyn’s imagination to take off and so the adventures of her cute little teddy bears started taking shape. She crocheted a teddy bear, yes a teddy bear, then another, until she had 12 teddy bears and she called them the Jolly Jangles. She then wrote a children’s picture book all about them and in rhyme too! Marilyn self-published it on Amazon in April 2019! All illustrations in the Jolly Jangles book are designed by Marilyn using the wonderful photographs that Michael took of the teddy bears along with the most of the background pictures that she took. She has written all of the poetry in the book too. She has an amazing daughter called Chloe who has helped her with all of the marketing of these wonderful Jolly Jangles. It is truly a family affair. |
