Bruce Hobson’s animal stories are inspired by the traditional African tales once told round the fire by village storytellers.  As a true storyteller himself, he makes them his own, and brings them alive for children and their parents today.  This is why he writes under the name of Mwenye Hadithi, The Storyteller.

Bruce grew up in Nairobi, in a wooden house by a river, surrounded by bush.  Animals were a constant presence and one day he even found a crocodile asleep by the ironing board! We are sad to report that Bruce died in February 2022 He was in the middle of a game of Pickle Ball, a game which he loved, and he was winning, when he collapsed. He was full of fun and new ideas right to the end, and we miss him.
