Zeb grew-up in the British seaside town of Lowestoft surrounded by animals; at one time he had three dogs, two cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, goldfish and a tortoise named Fred that he was given for his third birthday. Fred is still very much alive (tortoises live a VERY long time). Zeb now lives in London and is a familiar voice on BBC Radio and Television. Grown-ups eat their breakfast whilst he reads the news on BBC Radio 4 (Peter the Cat’s favourite radio station) or hear him when they’re tucked-up in bed, listening to The Shipping Forecast which keeps boats safe at sea. Zeb is a presenter for the BBC Proms and narrates popular orchestral works for children including Peter and the Wolf, Roald Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood, The Snowman and Paddington. One evening a little fox appeared outside his home. It was magical to meet a wild animal right in the middle of the city. It returned again the next night and the night after and everyone agreed it was the handsomest fox in London. Zeb began to write about its adventures and now people all over the world send messages to Gaspard. What would you ask a little fox if you met one outside your front door?
