“We’re pleased that Veronica Lamond has brought the
classic Land Rover Defender to life for a new generation.
We wish her every success.”
Global Licensing & Branded Goods Director, Jaguar Land Rover.
I’m sorry to say that ‘Fender’s Day at the Harbour’ in paperback is now out of print. Costs have spiraled in the UK and reprinting is no longer viable. I have plenty of hardback copies still available.

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!
