A Surbiton author who writes in rhyming couplets has published a book for under fives about a ladybird’s garden adventures.

Ayesha Benson’s vividly illustrated The Adventures of Henrietta: Hello Henrietta! marks her debut.

“I’ve lived in Surbiton for nine years with my husband, and we now have a toddler who many will quite likely have seen me chasing about!” she said.

The book is published by Austin Macauley.
