These stories were originally written for primary age school children in Swindon featuring a sheepdog inappropriately called Wolf. The first characters to emerge were Josh, a Londoner; Jazwinder, a pushy girl; Sarah and Roger. A controntation between Josh and Jake, an out of control boy with a chip on his shoulder and violent tendencies, led to a series of stories in which Jake sorts himself out. He was modelled on a real child, a girl, who did exactly that when she was 9-10 years old although all other details are entirely fictitious.
