Glenn Davison is a delightful storyteller. One cannot help but be mesmerized by his ability to tell a tale. Storytelling is in his blood and his stories are written from his big heart. Originally a teacher and principal, Glenn is now a farmer "just for the love of it". The setting for The Swamp Rat Ballet was inspired by the beauty and magic of a small pond at dusk one evening on Cherlenn Farm near Flinton, ON, Canada. Glenn has always been delighted by children of all ages and believes we are all children at heart. The magic that exists in nature and the sense of wonder in the eyes of children were the inspiration behind The Swamp Rat Ballet as well as many other stories. The lesson in this book is that magic is everywhere if you simply stop and really look. It is Glenn`s hope that you enjoy sharing this book with your family and friends. And of course get a wee chuckle out of it. As Glenn always says no matter what the situation, ``you have to laugh``. Glenn writes at his home, Cherlenn Farm near Flinton, Ontario, Canada.
