Children's Stories

The Monkey And The Crow

All monkeys love bananas. But when this particular monkey found the biggest bunch of bananas he had ever seen, little did he know what might happen next!

The Land of Colours and Shapes

Arthur notices shapes of all sizes and colours dancing as he lies in bed. What happens when he follows them?

The Magic Tree

Right in the middle of the vast forest of Silverwood stands a very special, very old tree. A magic tree.

The Sheep, the Goat and the Horse

Three friends on a farm decide they need a change of scenery, and set off for a picnic.

I also have some incomplete stories for children, including:

Umbrella. Imagine a story of the lives of others, told from the perspective of an object... such as an umbrella. Given how my good friend Karin had the original idea, it made sense that it should be named after her.

Amazing Anna. There was an Anna. She was precocious and smart, and she and her brother played with our kids on holiday. I was moved to put her in a story, and this is the start of it.

Dot and the Magic Tree. Dot is a little girl who is strangely misunderstood. Grown ups might think she had an over-active imagination but what if her adventures really did happen?

The Serpent Dancer. Another story about another Anna, that I took to Chapter 3. This time, rather than bugs, the story revolves around dragons and garden centres.
