Bärbel Thetmeyer writes stories about teddy bears, bunnies, rabbits and more. She started writing them back in the 90s, the first stories were meant to be as special Christmas presents for the family´s children. However, they were so liked, that the stories were then published as print editions at BoD, and since the new media e-books appeared on the market, her books are now, also available as e-books. In 2012 she made the acquaintance of a wonderful English lady who became the editor for the first translation. So, Bärbel started what she called "my big translation adventure" and in December 2012 her first ever English book was published at BoD. Little Beaver´s Secrets. Her aim is to enrich the fantasy of her readers of all ages and to give them a little escape from today s world! Come and join in! Last year she started to translate the bunny stories and the first three; Bo Bunny Stories 1, 2 and 3 was published at BoD in 2015 and Bo Bunny Stories 4, 5, 6 and 7 in 2019. The publication of these reminiscences is a tribute to the man Dr Kevin Phillips, and his Alter Ego, the bear Toddy Furrington. They had thousands of followers on social media, and would all have liked to say something alas, many found it too hard to put into words.
