Description

The Tale of Greta Gumboot and Other Stories is an exciting collection of magical tales about the adventures of brave and not so brave boys, girls, wizards, witches and talking animals. The stories are set in strange and wonderful worlds, sparkling with magic. There is also a selection of childrens rhyming stories like poetry that will hopefully provoke the odd bout of joyous laughter and the occasional gasp of surprise. These include some of my favourites the Epheline stories. He is part cat, part Elephant, particularly cute, furry and purple as they come. He has the ability to let out a magical musical whistle, that sends children safely to sleep back in there own soft, warm beds. He prefers only to come out at night and is about to make some wonderful new friends in the woods and the park. Aimed at boys and girls ranging in age from five years old to nine. There is plenty of fun and adventures for any child. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

About the Author

I was born in March 1986, on the Isle of Wight. I went to school there and then proceeded to study IT at college. Soon after college I was diagnosed with OCD. I have in the five years since lost interest in IT Except for writing and illustrating uses and my website of course and at the age of twenty I wrote a childrens story based on a family member for a bit of fun called The Tale Of Hammy Telling And His Tiny Little Telling Tummy. With this, the first childrens story I had written in my adult life coming in the short list of the academy of childrens writers competition, I decided to study with them with the aim of becoming a successful and respected writer of childrens literature. With the support of a loving family I have finally got my first book out there.
