Veronica Lamond


I’m sorry to say that my licensing with JLR ended in December 2024, so I am unable to reprint my books. Six titles are already out of print, so there are just 2 titles still left in print.
In 2025 Amazon and Britpart will still have copies of these 2 titles available, but they too will slowly run out over the next year. Sometimes you can find the out of print books available on ebay or you can email me if you’d like help in trying to locate a title.
It’s been a wonderful journey and I’ve so enjoyed meeting all the thousands & thousands of people who have been in contact with me over my 14 year journey with Landy and Fender. Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and support of my stories!

Our happy 5-6 year old Land Rover Story Competition winner with the illustration I created specially for her story! Thank you, Matilda, it was such fun painting it for you!

We’re really pleased that Bakeful Play have created some children’s recipes inspired by the Landy and Friends books. Taking inspiration from ‘Landy and the the Apple Harvest’ here’s the first ones to enjoy making with your little ones:

Veronica was in Cape Town to meet Landy and Friends fans for a
couple of weeks.
In one of the many schools she visited,
the children were entering a National Quiz on ‘Fender and the Cliff Rescue’ so they got some some extra special coaching! It was great to read Fender Goes to Africa to schools at the foothill of Table Mountain!

Here’s Alexander’s special Christmas present! Veronica is once again starting to take commissions from those people who would like a Landybook style painting. Please click on the ‘Painting Commissions‘ tab to see further details.

We were at the CARFEST SOUTH!
It was wonderful to meet everyone at the Carfest in August 2018 – sorry to those people who missed us because of the rain! It was so lovely to see how the Landy and Friends books are loved by whole extended families and not just the children!

In early January 2016 Veronica visited the Solihull Plant, met the staff and enjoyed the Defender factory tour. She also had great fun driving on the famous Land Rover Experience track! Then Land Rover presented her with a challenge … and she took Landy to visit the factory the next week. Landy at the Factory is the outcome of this visit – this special edition book is a bit of Land Rover History!
South African Readers – The Landybooks are now also published in South Africa by Penguin Random House and are available locally.

She enjoys the company of all the children and teachers and is very pleased that many children are now writing their own Landy tales!

Jojo’s Wire Car.
She had a great time visiting 25 schools and other readers’ groups.
