bio

Author Biography

British-born semi-retired Professor of Medicine in Charleston, SC, widely traveled and author of many medical books. He wrote the first story about Fred the snake getting squished (and mended) when his kids were young, to teach them how (not) to cross the road. When they had their own children, they asked "what happened to Fred-Fred" (so-called because he was in two pieces initially). So, Peter dusted it off and found a publisher. It seemed popular and fun, so there are now 8 books (beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Lemaire) about Fred the friendly snake. After recovering from squishness, Fred has gone to school, welcomed Jungle Jim and other animals, explored Charleston, enjoyed the beach and taken his friends camping. Books 7,8 ans 9 have Fred and friends exploring the cities and sights of USA.

The midwest book review said "Move over for Fred-Fred, Lewis Carroll"

Peter says he was not named after a rabbit.

Book Excerpt

When Fred the Snake and Friends Explore Charleston

In the morning we all rode,

Mama’s truck along the road.

Happily, it wasn’t far,

to Charleston’s posh peninsula.

Mama found a place to park it,

luckily, right by the market.

We cruised the stalls of cheap mementoes,

bags of grits and hot pimentos.

Sweetgrass baskets, table mats

and Jim tried on a lot of hats.

We took a carriage ride, explored,

the grand old houses south of Broad,

admired the churches and their spires.

This carriage could use softer tires

I worry we might break some bones

Bouncing on these cobblestones.

Turned the corner then to show

the famous pretty rainbow row.

We toured the Battery and saw,

Fort Sumter where they had a war.

Watched the pelicans in motion

Fishing the Atlantic ocean.
