From this father daughter collaboration, once again comes another delightful selection of short stories for children, of all ages. Fifteen stories full of wonder and imagination – stories, that cheerfully contort the world around us: for nothing in the world is accepted as being real, nothing is assumed to be as it appears to be nor necessarily required to be taken as it is found; all of the world, and everything in it, is considered fodder for re-interpretation, in stories that are at once silly, sombre, sad, or surreal - and each, sumptuously written, and guaranteed to enthral and enchant. All author proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (formerly Yorkhill Children’s Charity), based in the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, Scotland.
