Produktbeschreibung
From the start, Lake Mary was quiet and friendly, with a quality of life that attracted people of various backgrounds and origins wanting a break from hectic city life. The founding families described their initial experience as "heaven," with men on horseback clomping over dirt roads, dogs running free, ospreys perched in silence, and the echoes of children playing nearby. Underneath the cool shade of Florida oaks and swaying palmettos, women rocked and knitted while men gathered on benches and told valiant stories of catching fish. Since its inception, the Lake Mary City Commission has embraced the so-called "total quality of life," providing homes and work opportunities in close proximity to reduce daily commutes and solidify the sense of community. This led the way to Money magazine naming Lake Mary in 1997 the fourth best place to live and work in the United States.
Autorenporträt
John Hope grew up in the London suburbs before his family moved to Hertfordshire in the late 1950s. He married Ann nearly fifty years ago and they had four children, and now, six grandchildren. From time to time he has written the occasional article for magazines, but never thought of himself as having a career as a writer. So the opportunity to have The Mouse in the Car published has come about as a delightful surprise and he hopes that it will give as much pleasure to readers as it gave him to write.
