 About the author
David Charles Evans, BSc.
(Hons), was born in Nakuru, Kenya, into an old farming family, his grandparents
being Kenya pioneers from Shropshire, and was brought up on the family farm in
West Devon. He studied agriculture at Seale Hayne College, Newton Abbot, and
spent his time pedigree sheep breeding and sheep shearing before settling in
Exeter and developing his ideas for a humorous children's character. So Farmer
John Stubblefield was born. David is currently an active member of
Exeter Writers and has
many more Farmer John stories up his sleeve.
