Notă biografică

David Holroyd was first employed as a dolphin presenter at the age of 18, but quickly promoted to trainer. On reaching the top, he left the dolphin industry and became a casino croupier, eventually achieving inspector status. He later moved back to his roots as a signwriter and illustrator. He now also works part-time for a local radio station as an actor and writer. Tracy Holroyd has worked largely as a further education lecturer in ICT, Business Admin and Creative Writing, as well as writing short stories and articles for several national children's/teen magazines, including Shout and Cool Girl. She published two successful children's history books in 2011.

Recenzii

'This important story highlights not only the incredible psychic bonding possible between man and dolphins, but also draws the reader's attention to the major animal welfare implications of keeping wild dolphins in captivity merely for the commercial purpose of entertaining parents and kids.' -- Simon JR Adams, BSc, BVMS, MRCVS Zoo & Wildlife Veterinarian and Adviser 'Occasionally, we hear stories of very ordinary individuals who unwittingly become caught up in leading extraordinary lives. The stories of Dian Fossey and Joy Adamson, whose lives became irrevocably involved with their animals, come to mind. This is such a story. David and his sister Tracy J Holroyd (widely published author of children's works) tell the compelling story of dolphins Duchess and Herb'e as seen through the eyes of the boy who trained them. The authors' inimitable style of writing immediately engages the reader, making the book increasingly impossible to put down. This book proves beyond doubt that telepathy is not only a phenomenon between humans, but also between humans and animals. I can't wait for the second instalment!' -- Sheila Reeves Rigby Life's Mysteries - Your Key to Understanding
