The amazing life of Dolly Shepherd

A children’s book written by Karen McCombie and illustrated by Anneli Bray

1904 – Alexandra Palace, London. When sixteen-year-old Dolly Shepherd is offered the chance to take to the sky in a hot-air balloon, there’s no way she’s going to turn it down. Even though the pilot actually plans for her to jump out of the balloon and plummet back to earth using just a flimsy parachute.

For Dolly, it’s the start of a sensational career. But the life of an aeronaut is as dangerous as it is daring, and there will be many narrow escapes along the way….

An incredible re-imagining of the life of a fearless aeronaut of the twentieth century.
