Sisters Jennifer Somervell and Margery Fern are celebrating the launch of the sixth in their Tales From The Farm picture book series. Margery's illustrations help embellish Jennifer's rhyming tales of growing up on a farm in Hawkes Bay in the the 1970s. Here, as children they got involved in family farm adventures. The tales are deeply historical and form the basis of school visits to instill a love of reading in primary age children.
