What is The Hen Who Wouldn't Give Up: AND The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark about?

Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she wanted to write for children. The Hen Who Wouldn't Give Hilda is a small, speckled hen. And when Hilda makes up her mind, nothing can stop her. Hildas auntie has just had a family of chicks, and shes determined to visit them. But how is Hilda going to travel the five miles to her aunties farm? The owl who was afraid of the dark : Plop, the Baby Barn Owl, is like every Barn Owl there ever was, except for one thing he is afraid of the dark."Dark is nasty"he says and so he won't go hunting with his parents. Mrs Barn Owl sends him down from his nest-hole to ask about the dark and he meets a little boy waiting for the fireworks to begin, an old lady, a scout out camping, a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, a man with a telescope and a black cat who takes him exploring. He realizes that through these encounters that dark is super after all.
