Originally from just outside Newcastle-on-Tyne, Kevin has lived just outside Abingdon-on-Thames for over 30 years. He has two children and two grandchildren and is very proud of them all. Working in marketing and design for most of his life as sales director, copy writer and creative director gave Kevin the kick he needed (finally!) to write the Willy and Wally stories. Willy & Wally and the Electric Bicycle is his second book.
Willy and Wally are windscreen wipers. They’re what now? They are windscreen wipers, you know those things that keep car windscreens clear when it rains or snows. But they’re very special windscreen wipers. These windscreen wipers come to life when people (that’s you and me) are not looking. Next time you are in a car with your family, take a look. But don’t touch them! They may be special too.Our mischievous windscreen wipers (as in cheeky monkeys!), love to go on adventures in their home town of Bryson-on-the-Walk. When they do they are helped by their friends. There’s Milly and Molly the mirrors, ’Enery the engine, Horatio the headlight and Boddington the bumper.I first met Willy and Wally on a journey to London many, many years ago. It was raining and they did a grand job in keeping the windscreen clear and so kept me safe. Of course I didn’t know their names back then but I soon found out….Find out what happens in this their first adventure when they hear a very strange noise coming from the back of their car.
Swoosh! What is that noise?
Willy and Wally hear a strange noise (again!) and set out to investigate – Swoosh! Yes that noise!
