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.

Author Insight

Charleston restaurants

Charleston, SC, has much to offer for both residents and tourists. Over the last 10-15 years it has become a Foodie destination. There are dozens of great restuarants both on and off the peninsula. Fred enjoyed the mussels at Rue de Jean, as I do!

Book Excerpt

When Fred the Snake and Friends Explore Charleston

It’s time for lunch, so let’s see

where we would prefer to be.

Snobs, High Cotton, Fulton Five?

Hanks serves oysters still alive.

And it’s really tough to beat

Bubba’s shrimp on Market street.

But Mama said “y’all come on”

We should go to Rue de Jean.

The server was surprised to see

Fred and Jim’s menagerie.

(if that word is new to you

I think it means a little zoo).

Jim chose curried mussels which

came steaming in a great big dish.

And, what a nice surprise,

They were served with heaps of fries
