I'LL WRITE TO RICHIE BENAUD

by Heather Nimmo

Steven is in his thirties. He was born with Downs Syndrome. He lives with his ageing mum, loves to watch the cricket on TV and is impressed that commentator Richie Benaud always knows all the answers. In times of stress or confusion, he says, 'I'll write to Richie Benaud', certain that Richie will provide a calm and fair judgement. But there are problems that other members of Steven's family must try to solve for themselves.
