Telling tales! Is often considered as something naughty. These tales are told by a mother. This mother likes to tell a tall tale or two. Tales can share so many messages. The desire to read and draw is no longer an essential need, even though our children and families are reading everyday tales, some fact, some fiction. This mother became a writer and chose to share a few very weird fairy-tales, maybe they should simply be called weird tales? This modern woman writer doesn't write simply, and she chose to turn a number of very odd stories into a collection of Golden Enzymes. Why? Why not? If you have strong stomach and cope very well with tragedy - I recommend you take a look. If you don't like fantasy, the absurd and have no sympathy - put the book down and walk away.

Goblin Boots is a fantasy story created for family readership. The tale tells of a Boot Maker, a Goblin and many pairs of boots, oh yes, and a wife. Some may say they know how the story ends. You will only find out, if you read for yourself!This peculiar story came to mind after recalling a favourite tale from my own childhood, and choosing to share my own version, an adaptation, with the family. I hadn’t realised so many of my conscious story recalls were based upon the Brothers Grimm Tales. I bought a copy of the Grimm Tales to share more stories with my family directly and couldn’t believe how terrible they were, when I say terrible, I mean shocking. I would often read them aloud, changing the odd word and detail as I went to make it more child friendly. Thank goodness most of the content is pure fantasy.This story may create a lot of questioning from a child listener, so be prepared, and only read it to them if you feel prepared to answer the questions yourself. The beauty of a book: you can read it when YOU’RE ready.Did you ever hear the story about the shoemaker selling shoes, all hand crafted by Elves? If not, you’ve missed out on one of very many good stories told by the Brothers Grimm. Although, Grimm stories were often missing something, for in this peculiar adaptation of a tale, there weren’t elves, but for a single Goblin.And…When you mess with a Goblin… WOAH! They don’t like people knowing their business especially when a deal turns bad. Goblins are happy when they are winning, but hate to lose.Thank you for choosing to read Goblin Boots.

Thirteen-year-old Fredrik has just made a choice that will change his life and the lives of everyone he knows. Rather than fight, possibly to the death, he chooses The Second Rite. He must leave the compound where he has lived all his life, enter the ruins of a dead city and bring back an artifact. If he returns without it, he will be killed by the other boys. Fredrik knows if he is caught leaving the compound, he will be severely punished. But a dream gives him courage - that he might find a whole book, a forbidden possession, to bring back for his mother. Fredrik does indeed find a book, the Holy Book of God, but he has been taught that God is the source of all their misery. Dare he believe what this ancient book tells him? Is keeping it safe worth losing everything? Dare he believe that the land beyond the dark wall is the true reality? Can he really complete the task for which he has been chosen?

A new writer, and self-publishing, we all have to start somewhere and this collection of short stories are for a family readership and were first created in 2016. The four stories are independently told. However, they all have a common theme of fantasy fairy-tale, magic, with a sense of humour. In 2018 I collected the stories for children together, because this is something you can do when choosing to self publish. 1. Goblin Boots - The tale tells of a Boot Maker, a Goblin and many pairs of boots, oh yes, and a wife. Some may say they know how the story ends. You will only find out if you read for yourself!2. Heaven Help Us - The story began whilst I sat in a car on a journey to the East Coast, telling tales to keep my children occupied, because their technology was out of signal range. The signal on the East Coast is limited. My daughter had asked what is more important, money or love? Then along came a story, my children liked it when it was told verbally, but I realise now, when the words are on the paper - some stories are meant to be told aloud, others are to be read. So, I ask Dear Adult reader that you inspect this story and decide for yourself whether you want to share it with a child or young person. It is up to you. 3. The Sparrow & a Dog - The Writer for a time had to do a school run, between 2015 to 2017, which incurred a long drive, down through the back roads of the East Riding. The roads often reminded her of the streets of the East Hull, and there was a house that reminded her of her childhood. On this one particular road that she travelled down daily, morning and night, she would often see birds flying low, pheasants walking casually, and even the odd vole and hedgehog trying to cross the road which were expected to be driven along at a range of 40mph to 60mph speed. This story is a little tragic.And my first ever children's tale:The Slimy Frog, I will leave this story to tell itself. Does the story remind you of a fairy-tale you may have read a long time ago?I hope you enjoy reading them, if there are still edits, do let me know. When I am editing, I find myself re-enjoying the stories, so some things bypass me. I am so much better at editing the work of others. The pleasure for me has been in the writing and the sharing of words, these stories are now available in eBook and open for your translation. Thank you if you chose to read this book.
