The Dream Guardian

Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, July 14, 2017)
Grandpa is a storyteller. He's also The Dream Guardian, charged with looking after hundreds of bottles of dreams, both happiness dreams and nightmares. His grandchildren, Tommy and Nikki, often visit him to listen to a story and, in Tommy's case, learn how to become the new Dream Guardian when the time comes. Listen to stories about hidden temples, a runaway dog, four-winged fairies, stag beetles, witches, Arthur (the original Dream Guardian), adventurous train journeys, … and much more, plus learn about secret rooms, secret books, and how to re-dream a bottled dream. I’m a retired electronics engineer in my 70s. I write blogs and books and before my knees wore out, walked many long-distance trails with my wife Carol. I have four granddaughters and, when they were younger, I enjoyed making up bedtime stories about anything and everything. This book is based in part on those stories and is designed either to be read as a "book at bedtime" or to be enjoyed on its own by younger readers 8-years-old-ish and upwards.
