I was 16 when I started telling stories to my nieces and nephews, then later to my own children and now my grandchildren and many others. I have done this all my life and have always been asked… “Please can you come up to bed with us and read us a story” which I always did and still do and love doing. I always made them up just out of my head. It’s only in the last two years that I have started to write them all down and put them into a book. A few of these I have read to my latest grandchildren, who loved them and always want more. So for that reason I have written them in book form, and just hope that many more children enjoy either reading them themselves or having them read to them. Snuggled up at bedtime.I have made the stories in this book funny, exciting, and with good thoughts to take through life. I hope that the “readers” enjoy them as much as those who are being “read to”.Happy Bedtimes from Marya.k.a. Nanny Beach Bum
