The obituary notice of Jeanine Margaret MCMULLEN

This lady was a joy and an inspiration. I loved hearing her on Radio 4, and used to warden the little hostel across the valley. She is remembered with thanks for her life well lived and generously shared.

I first met Jeanine in her books back in the late 1980s; then we corresponded for a time and talked occasionally on the phone. We lost touch after I moved, and I did not learn of her death until a long time afterwards. I am grateful for her friendship and for her books, where I can always find her again.

I was given Jeanine's books to read as a young woman by my aunt also called MRS P. I have just re-read them again 30 years later, they make me laugh and make me cry. I wished I had written to her to tell her how brilliant her books were/are

Such a talented and empathetic writer. Ms McMullen writes about the magic of Wales as well as revealing to us her love and understanding of the animal kingdom. She is sorely missed.
