This volume, the first of two, was written as bedtime stories for young family members, over a period of five years.

This is not a collection per se, but a group of fairy tales, to be read by parents / babysitters / minders - to 'dip into' anytime, when a story is just what's needed.

There are stories of sad polar bears, little dragons, races, special 'clothes-makers' and other strange tales.

The young listener may hear and experience joy, excitement, disbelief, frustration, gasps, 'wows' and other emotions, sometimes in one sitting.

A book of hope to be cherished and enjoyed.
