How did Reggie Rat become Reggie Rat?

Some of these stories have been passed down through generational storytelling, rooted in a family history that dates back to my grandfather, Edward, born in 1904, which adds a personal and nostalgic touch, giving the stories a charming and wholesome feel.

My father, Roy, told my two brothers and me the same stories. I naturally carried on the tradition. Unfortunately, only about six stories have been remembered and passed down.

I soon realised that I had the same creative imagination that Edward had in bringing Reggie Rat to all our hearts.
