Description
Laughter truly is the best medicine...
While undergoing chemotherapy after his colon cancer operation in early 2020, Henry Slator knew he was missing his usual light hearted outlook on life. But what to do if you're missing a little bit of humour? He found it by imagining conversations with creatures in and around his large garden pond and adding buckets of fun. He created the entertaining Conversations at the Pond with its mass of colourful illustrations. By taking you along his journey and through these enjoyable stories he hopes to inspire delight and cheer you up too. The book is perfect for anyone who might need a little laugh to get through tough times or simply to boost their spirit and take a different, more humorous approach to life.
Who would have thought of discovering solace and laughter at a pond?
- Wonderful characters and intriguing goings on at the pond. 80+ illustrations & 20 short stories make the book a treat. This is a brilliant book children can buy for their grandparents and parents!
- Conversations at the Pond offers uplifting entertainment and surprises, which will help to revive your inner child. It will work wonders for your wellbeing... and you definitely won't look at a pond the same way again.
"I haven't a clue where Henry gets his extraordinary ideas from, but they are a joy to illustrate." – Cheyenne Hardwick, Illustrator of Conversations at the Pond

It's been a hard year. 18 months, more like. The fear, the isolation, the economic upheaval...we're all coping as best we can. For someone like the author of this book, dealing with a cancer diagnosis and chemo on top of all of the rest of the uncertainty and chaos, all bets are off. Any and all coping strategies are on the table, and talking to the animals at a nearby pond is probably better than a lot of other options!
The outgrowth of this is an amusing, irreverent, whimsical book full of adorable illustrations and funny, endearing characters. This world is not at all a bad place to get lost for a bit and we could all use a nice place to get lost. This would be a good story for anyone who needs a bit of a lift and a thoughtful gift for someone who could use a distraction from their cares.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
