Books with author Dean Jones

Do you want to be able to get your child to sleep at night? Sleepy Bedtime Tales offers a revolutionary way to tell bedtime stories helping to make bedtime a time of peace, calm and sleep for your child.Based on various psychological principles and techniques 'Sleepy Bedtime Tales' bedtime stories guide your child comfortably asleep.These bedtime stories are to be read to your child at bedtime, rather than with your child at bedtime, or by your child at bedtime.These bedtime stories are written to be read mainly to 4-7 year old's, (the bedtime stories work with children as young as 2) as they rest in bed with their eyes shut listening along to the bedtime story.Each of the bedtime stories takes about 10-15 minutes to read. The sleepy bedtime approach was developed over 15 years ago while Dan Jones was working in children's homes with children with emotional and behavioural issues. He needed to find a way to help the children sleep. He had an interest in the way people communicate due to having Asperger's and wanting to learn the skills to fit in with others. So he applied what he had learnt about how people communicate unconsciously and turned his knowledge into this approach.Since that time Dan has taught the approach to children's home staff, family support workers and social workers, and to hundreds of parents, as well as applying the approach himself with children of all ages.The stories in this 'Sleepy Bedtime Tales' book are:- The Rabbit Who Came to Tea- Timmy and the Secret Door - The Princess and the Magical Kitten- The Magical Unicorn- The Spaceman and the Dinosaur - The Swift and the Swallow - The Caterpillar's Dream - The Boy Who Ran Off to the Circus - Adventure of a Time Travelling Worm - The Puppy Who Wanted to Play - The Magical Journey Asleep

Sonny Legatus doesn't think there's anything special about himself. He's just an ordinary Fledgling-aged Vampire living in the Upperlands of the Realm. Like all Vampires, he has to pick a "Specialty" and work it until his bones collapse. While others are planning for their future, Sonny dreams about living for and savoring “The Moment”. The idea that just one beautiful moment in time could be more powerful than hundreds of years of mediocrity consumes him. And it’s not just him—there’s a growing movement among Fledglings to reject the Rules of the Realm and simply not choose a Specialty.1089 years after the last Human was hunted into extinction, the Realm of the Vampire looks startlingly similar to the last days of mankind. Without human blood to feed on, Vampires have no supernatural powers—just a High Council that dictates their lives.But when the Pike's Run returns— a motorcycle race that only happens once every 121 years— there's finally a chance to dream, a chance to live for the moment, and a chance for an ordinary person to become... King of the Undead."Rise of the Cafe Racer" is an elaborate tale within the world of the Vampires of the Realm. A tale with several perfectly-woven story arcs of passion, corruption, true love and a motorcycle race that determines the King of the Undead. With 84 illustrations, detailed maps, and an original 12-song soundtrack, Rise of the Cafe Racer isn’t just a story; it’s an experience that will leave the reader with a sense of having visited another world… and hungry for the next books.

"Outstanding. Majestic in its sweep, compelling in its storytelling, this is narrative history at its best. A thrilling dynastic history of royal intrigues, violent skulduggery and brutal warfare across two centuries of British history.' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIOREThe Plantagenets inherited a bloodied, broken kingdom from the Normans, and set about expanding royal rule until it stretched at its largest from the Scottish lowlands to the Pyrenees, and from the Ireland to the foothills of the Holy Roman Empire. At the same time, they developed aspects of English law, government, architecture, art and folklore that survive to this day. Despite all this, and having reigned for twice as long as their eventual successors, the Tudors, the Plantagenets remain relatively unknown.In this gripping, vivid new book, Dan Jones brings the Plantagenets and their world back to life. This is both an epic narrative history of the 'high' Middle Ages, and a spellbinding portrait of a family blessed and cursed in equal measure.THE PLANTAGANETS sweeps from Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine's creation of a European empire to Richard the Lionheart's heroic Third Crusade and King John's humbling under Magna Carta. It explores the beginning of parliament under Henry III. It charts the fierce rule of Edward Longshanks, who conquered Wales and subdued Scotland but could never come to terms with his own son, the ill-fated Edward II. The book comes to an exciting climax in the age of chivalry, as Edward III saw England triumph in the Hundred Years War while plague stalked Europe, before the Black Prince and his beautiful princess Joan of Kent raised a son, Richard II, who would come to destroy the Plantagenet legacy. It is a compelling, fascinating journey through Britain's most spectacular age.

Relaxing Tales for Children is the sequel to Sleepy Bedtime Tales, which introduced a revolutionary new approach to helping children sleep, which Dan Jones had developed over 15 years ago during his time working in children's homes with children who struggled to fall asleep. Relaxing Tales for Children uses these same techniques, but the stories are focused on helping children to relax, rather than helping them to fall asleep. Each of the eleven stories follow the same characters who were in the stories in Sleepy Bedtime Tales as they take on different adventures. These stories are ideal for reading to children at home to help them to relax, or to read to groups of children at 'story time'. The target age range for these stories is 4-7 year old's, although the approach works with younger and older children than this age range. The stories have all been written to be read to children, rather than by children, so that they can relax and listen along with their eyes closed imagining the stories unfold.
