This book covers very serious issues
threatening our planet. It is a prequel to George Orwell's Animal
Farm and 1984 and discusses certain events from the past, the
present and also raises perceived events which may or will happen

funny, enigmatic, heart-rending, is always thought provoking and is
always entertaining and informative.
SYNOPSIS
Mother Gaia has assisted nature in the
development of the planet Gaia. Following her creation of the
dinosaurs, which she was forced to exterminate as she knew they
would eventually destroy the planet, she created many forms of
different animals that she hoped would develop and live happily
together on the planet: but she was wrong. The living species were
now so advanced they were beginning to destroy the planet and she
was forced to decide whether to exterminate them also. Time was
running out. This book will leave the reader with plenty to think
about . It covers the past, the present and the future and raises
many present problems that unless we do something about, will
destroy our planet. At times, it is funny, enigmatic,
heart-rending, and always thought provoking and an essential read
for young open minds from fifteen to one hundred and
fifteen.
