Children's Stories

                                                                 Children's Stories

   I'm always looking for a special treat at Christmas time -- for myself of course! Invariably I choose a book I've heard about which has a not too demanding story, maybe based on an historical figure or something unique from the imagination of the author. Often during my search through bookshelves, I'v been drawn more than once to the latest children's stories displayed invitingly on tables.Christmas is a time for such indulgence. It's the season to re-live memories of being read to at bedtime. And memories too of being older and hiding under the blankets to read a good story by torchlight!

   I'm thinking about this because I've just downloaded Linda Talbot's latest tale for kids which is published free with Smashwords.

   In A HAZARDOUS HIKE TO PARADISE
   the author writes about FIFI AND THE SWIFTIFOOTS and
   how they found THE FLOWERS OF PARADISE.

She describes mushroom people, a lost fairy and the creatures they collect on a house hunting trek through time. Apart from being mesmerized by the fantastical and colourful nature of Linda's writing, I'm sure you will particularly enjoy the wonderful illustrations by Swedish Artist Diana Munz.. Her work is captivating and awe inspiring. Where would you find such a combination of talent available for all ages who love the world of fantasy? Take some time this Christmas to download, enjoy and share some rare,intriguing and captivating make believe.
