Oliver was born in the aftermath of the First World War; he grew up on a large estate learning the skills of poachers, fieldcraft, shooting and an instinct for navigation. From an idyllic life he was sucked into the Second World War; he joined the army where he was given a commission. He had no idea that his future was to involve high adventure, combined with a bevy of female admirers who were to affect his life.Formal soldiering did not sit well with him so the army focused his destiny. He trained as a commando. Posted to Egypt, the Long Range Desert Group sought his military and linguistic skills; he soon found himself deep behind the enemy lines gathering intelligence. Then he was transferred to the Special Air Service, where he took part in behind-the-lines raids against enemy targets in North Africa. As the war in the desert drew to a close, he returned to England to prepare for the invasion of Europe. He led a four-man SAS team who were dropped into occupied France. Their mission was to blow up railway lines and trains at the market town of Le Dorat in south-west France, so as to delay the German army's hasty move north to counter the D-Day landings.

The art fair is in two weeks! Darcy still isn't done with her masterpiece and reading class is next. What is she going to do? Reading is her hardest class! Follow along as her teacher, Miss Williams, and her friend, Clara, encourage her to keep trying. Does Darcy listen to their advice or does her dyslexia stop her from doing things she loves? "The bell rang and the rest of the class rushed outside for recess. Darcy was halfway out the door when Miss Williams stopped her." The message, mission, and purpose of this book are specific. Abigail initially started writing this story due to the lack of children's books about dyslexia. When she was growing up she didn't see any representation of herself as someone with dyslexia in a children's book. As the process of the book continued and the passion got deeper Cecilia and she decided to create this into a series with the understanding that there are so many disabilities that need representation in children's books. Every detail of the book was thoughtfully created and has a purpose. The word dyslexia is only used in the title and description to make people aware of what the book is about without having it be the main character. This is intentional to let Darcy shine while reading the book. Even down to the font (which is open dyslexic font) was thought through to make it easier for whom it helps.
