Like Walt, Ms Dodwell travelled in the country formerly known as Rhodesia. Unlike Walt, she has also journeyed through west Africa, Papua New Guinea, Turkey, China, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Siberia, and Kurdistan, by horse, canoe, elephant, camel and microlight. She has published books and articles about many of her travels.
Now happily retired from her explorations, she is settled in a lovely country home where she passes the time farming and, inter alia, creating stories for children about willow-work reindeer characters, crafted by herself!
Christina has sent along her latest video, released a few days ago. It's a Christmas special, which she says is definitely her best to date. She writes: I made one final willow deer this year who was rejected by my older deer. However she refused to give up. The story is packed with action, drama and emotion. As for the villainous Mrs Alice Malice – so wicked. My friend who portrayed her is massively proud of her performance!
The 6th film in the Willow Deer series introduces "Star". Will she be accepted as part of the team. She is stronger than she looks and determined to show what she can do. Share this with your children and anyone who may enjoy. With best wishes from Christina Dodwell.
