The Author
Dennis Puffett
Has had life long contact with Fairies and people who believe in Fairies.
Beginning in the Cotswolds of England. Later in Ireland. In North Africa and the Adriatic Region. Among the Aboriginal People of Northern Australia and in Papua New Guinea.
In different parts of the world, Fairies are known by many names, and are a variety of shapes and sizes.
Dennis, who knows about Goblins, Demons and other nasties, is fortunate to to have been invited into the wonder world of his favourite friendly little sprites, The Tikkletwich.
He say's that he is not a natural writer and did not plan to write the Tikkletwich stories, but the mind pictures and stories were so persistent that it seemed he had been chosen as the story teller for the Tikkletwich, with a commitment to share the joy and wonderment that surrounds them.
Most of his other working life was spent in Wildlife Management, and this contact and concern for the natural world can be seen in
‘Tales of theTikkletwich.’
Dennis has the awesome privilige of being able to activate the wonderful complexity that is Energy of Nature Healing.
He uses this precious gift on a daily basis to help people and any creature that may need it, wherever they may be.
