The Cheetah's Tale
Julia Johnson;  Susan Keeble (Illustrator)
 
A heart wrenching children's story. A little girl comes across a malnourished cheetah cub caged at the back of a small shop in an Arab souq. Her mother agrees to buy the animal to save its life, and the little girl rears the cub at their house until it grows into a fine young cheetah. The cheetah and the girl are inseparable friends, but they know one day he will need to return to Africa where he can roam free. Beautifull illustrations flow throughout the narrative and bring this enchanting tale to life.
Julia Johnson - Author of The Cheetah's Tale, A Gift of the Sands, One Humpy Grumpy Camel, A is for Arabia, and The Pearl Diver. She first went to the Middle East in 1975, where she was swift to develop her skills as a scuba diver. She now divides her time between Dubai and an old watermill in Worcestershire. She is married with two children and a granddaughter and she enjoys writing and acting.

Susan Keeble - Susan Keeble's distinctive watercolours have been exhibited at galleries internationally, including the Royal Scottish Academy and the International Guild of Artists, and in Dubai, where she lived for five years. She is regularly commissioned to paint the Henley Regatta.

All three of her children's books are published by Stacey International.
