Jill Phipps mother Nancy, who has also been an animal rights activist for many years, was challenged by Jill to write her a horror story. Nancy took the challenge and the result was `Mother Likes Making Dolls`, a spine chilling horror. Although the book was written many years ago, it has only recently been published and is dedicated to Jill.

The book is available from the same address below. It costs £6 plus £2 p&p. All proceeds from the sale of the book will be ploughed back into campaigns for animal rights.
