The Adventures of Jimini and Jacko The Smarty Boys

The Adventures of Jimini and Jacko follows the escapades of two mischievous (and make-believe) little boys who climb aboard a rocket to visit their grandparents in Wales. Once there, they embark on a series of colourful adventures – whether it's on the farm, at the zoo, down the sewers or underground in a disused mine – and become firm friends with a variety of animals as they go. Their travels even take them to the North Pole, where a sleigh ride with a lively young polar bear awaits. Needless to say they get into a number of narrow scrapes, when a plate of Nanny's famous Welshcakes is almost certain to come to the rescue!

Born and brought up in Wales, Maureen Cotter originally wrote these entertaining childrens' stories as bedtime reading for her two young grandsons growing up in Australia. Maureen continues to live in South Wales and is now planning a sequel. She is an expert at baking Welshcakes!
