Playing together is a joyful story in verse of how two siblings occupy themselves, whatever the weather. My children loved the way the tale moves along, and could really relate to the everyday adventures the characters get up to. It would be great for early readers or for parents to read to a young child. There is always something new to pick out and talk about in the illustrations, which perfectly capture the curiosity of being a child. Highly recommended.

 This is a great book good story and pictures a lot of thought has gone into it .have brought it for a Christmas gift . 

We have enjoyed reading this again and again to our young children and looking at all the details in this adorable and sweet book. Lovely rhymes throughout which tell the story of a week in the life of a very creative brother and sister.

 

I Knew It in the Bath by Linda Flynn

 

The bathtub is the place where dreams and possibilities flow as easily as the tap water – if only they would go to plan.

I Knew it in the Bath is a collection of absorbing short stories which show that no matter how we expect events to unfold, life has a way of confounding us. What will a woman do to save her friend? Do we really know when we’re being watched? Why did Dora throw the iron through the window? What’s the best way to take revenge on a cheating partner?

Settle back for an engaging read through these humorous, sinister and thought-provoking stories, but try not to drop your book in the bath!

Linda Flynn, a frequent contributor to our annual themed anthologies , gives us food for thought in the stories collected in I Knew in in the Bath.

This author has a way with words, taking often mundane settings and ordinary people then letting them shine in varied and cleverly constructed tales. They surprise, entertain and impel the reader to discover the delights of the next story. Each one is not too long but they all excite the imagination in their unique ways.
I'm not a bath person but I can easily see the attraction of losing yourself in this book surrounded by bubbles and incense.

 

From hilarious tales of revenge to sad, poignant observations and dark, sinister thrillers, I really enjoyed this eclectic mix of stories. The writer’s imaginative and descriptive style left me entertained and often surprised. Each short story is thought-provoking in its own way and the book covers a wide range of subjects.

 

I can’t recommend this anthology enough. Linda Flynn has such a way with words. The stories are imaginative and enthralling, and you will find yourself wanting to delve into one story after another. If you are looking for an eclectic mix of stories to delight you, this is it.  

The Script Challenge

 

The challenge was to the authors we have already published to turn one of their short stories into a ten-minute script. And here they all are.

We looked for:

• Effective adaptation of the origin text
• Ease of production
• Something that could be Covid safe

These scripts are refreshing to read and would provide excellent opportunities for performances with clever witty dialogue and contemporary scenarios. Each of them provide a unique perspective and the very idea of the premise here is great. I especially liked Janet Howson's Cinderella for the setting and fast pace but also Dawn Knox's The Stag Do which was so realistic but cringe-worthy, hilarious and clever in equal proportions. All in all, something for everyone interested in putting on a play or two but also for the joy of reading.

 

Which comes first, the story or the play? All these plays started life as short stories, and each has been cleverly adapted for the stage or possibly radio. It's not easy to tell a complete story in a ten minute play, but each of these offerings does that exceptionally well. If you're looking for short plays, these are ideal for drama groups, schools, colleges and workshops. Recommended.

A Most Amazing Zoo

 

What happens when the Queen visits Zedgate Zoo? Well she meets a lot of amazing animals and finds out a lot of amazing facts about them.

This delightful story is told through a series of colourful and entertaining pictures and a lively text. There is plenty of extra story in the pictures for the child who has the book read to them, and the text is of an appropriate language level for the emergent reader.

'This is a beautifully presented book and the story is both fun and packed with facts. The illustrations are amazing, the animals' characters shine through and there's lots of fine detail and humour.'

'This is a beautiful book...wonderfully written and illustrated. Both the writer and Illustrator manage to capture children's imagination brilliantly!
Our Grandkids love it!'

'Thoroughly recommend this fantastic and fun book. Younger children will journey around the zoo with the Queen, as many animals and fun facts are introduced and there are a host of things to spot and talk about in each picture. It is also a great for a reading child who loves animals and a comical bedtime story. '
