Set in Indonesia in the 1970s and '80s, Pip and Zoe's Amazing Adventures is a collection of short stories inspired by true events. What started out as requests for 'stories from your mouth' from the author's children has now, almost a decade later, become the first collection of stories of Pip and Zoe Cottew's childhood in Indonesia, exquisitely illustrated by Cassia Whitton. Each of these stories are heartfelt love letters to the author's childhood in Indonesia and the menagerie of animals with whom she grew up.

About the Author
Zoe Cottew's childhood in 'seventies and 'eighties Indonesia inspired her debut collection of short stories for children, Pip and Zoe's Amazing Adventures. Growing up with a menagerie of animals, including Jemima the Gibbon, exploring the Thousand Islands in the Java Sea, making fairy gardens in the tea plantations, and digging heffalump traps in the sands of Carita Beach, resulted in a lifetime of travel and adventure for Zoe and her daring older brother, Pip. During the course of her life so far, Zoe has lived in Indonesia, England, France, East Timor, Jordan, and Australia. When she's not drifting between the wild world of her own imagination and reality, she's adjudicating over whose turn it is to feed the dogs and put the chickens away. Zoe, her three gorgeous children, and their goldendoodle, Spencer, currently live with Nana Helen, Uncle Rory, and Windy Indie the giant poodle, in a stone house in the woods in the beautiful Macedon Ranges, Victoria, Australia.
