THE WISDOM OF FRANK THE GOAT MAN is a parable about kindness, compassion, and the Universe, written for both teenagers and adults.
This wonderful tale follows the journey of a little girl called Emily, as seen through the eyes of her Shetland pony ‘Poppy’ who narrates the story. We are shown Emily’s fascinating encounters with a curiously alluring elderly Chinese neighbour, known simply as ‘Frank the goat man’. Frank, a Master Philosopher, thoroughly captivates Emily with his interesting and diverse conversations as they chat over their shared fence line when she rides past on Poppy each day.
When Emily reaches adulthood, she feels ‘off course and lost’. Here, the story takes an interesting twist, where after many years of absence Frank and Poppy reappear to help Emily find her way.

“A beautifully written story for all ages with a message of love, peace & awareness.
The bond between human & animal is so much more than physical & will last a lifetime… & beyond.”

“The wisdom of Frank the Goat man was a pure delight to read; so easy and quirky. Gosh it resonated with me! I felt like there was a little bit of me in Emily, in ALL stages of her life. It was purely magical reading it, especially the second time! I recommend ALL should go pick up the book and get wisdom from Frank”

“I thoroughly enjoyed ‘The wisdom of Frank the goat man’. It has made me think about things that are not physically there and tuned me in to the act of listening.
I especially loved that the pony ‘Poppy’ was the narrator, looking at it from her point of view. Reading this book affirms to me what spiritual beings horses are. I now just want to run into the paddock and practice this gift with my own horses!”

“ What a delightful surprise this story is.
Told in verse, it can be read on two levels – as a child’s story or one of deep meaning for adults. A most enjoyable read. Thank you, Debs “

I read ‘About Woody’ and it filled me with warmth and gratitude, and then I sat with a cup of tea and read ‘Frank the goat man’ from cover to cover! I love the simplicity in which you cover complex subject matter. This book is amazing! Well done!
