From childhood, siblings David Hardie and Diana Townsend loved telling stories.
While still at school, despite being dyslexic, David won a competition to have a play he had written produced by the BBC.
As teenagers, David and Diana helped their father build an animated model of a three-ring circus which was exhibited around the UK. Later, the family bought a derelict school which they transformed into a tourist attraction.
Diana has written a series of memoirs about these years under the title Me, My Family and the Poltergeist.
When the tourist attraction closed, the family started a new business creating Christmas displays for shopping centres as well as hand-sculpting thousands of figures for model villages across the UK.
In more recent years, David and Diana, together with Diana’s husband, Robert Townsend, have produced a number of short films and two feature films.
While David’s children were young, he told them stories of the Dittos, invisible elf-like creatures who live in the seaside town of Dawlish, helping to look after wildlife and clean up after visitors.
Working with Diana, David has now developed these stories into a trilogy of books under the title The Dittos of Dawlish.

THE FIRST BOOK IN A SERIES OF THREE MEMOIRS.
Diana Townsend realizes at a young age that her family are different from other people. Her mother is an author and her father is a circus owner who has been forced by ill-health to close his beloved show.
Growing up, Diana and her brother, David, help their father build a remarkable animated model of his show, Silvers Circus, which they exhibit around the country.
Soon the family dream of opening their own tourist attraction.
Hearing a derelict school is up for sale, they make an impulsive decision to sell their home, pool their savings, and risk everything on making their dream a reality.
Not believing in ghosts, Diana is amused to hear local people claim the old building is haunted. However, once renovations begin, her feelings change.
As the opening day approaches and unexpected problems threaten the family with ruin, Diana becomes convinced they are sharing their home with a ghost. But is she right? And will the rest of the family believe her?
Me, My Family and the Poltergeist is the first book in a series of family memoirs. If you enjoy personal stories about unforgettable people, then you'll love Diana's debut book.
