Story Behind The Book

I was inspired to write my book by my daughter, and by my work with young children. I wanted to write a tale that parents could enjoy sharing with their children, and a beginner children's book that children could read on their own. I aimed to capture the imagination of young readers by inventing a fantasy world of giants, elves, fairies, evil spirits, and a magical and alluring forest setting, as fantasy fiction appealed to me as a child. My objective is to stimulate the creative process in children by this entertaining story, whilst adding to the classical tradition of story-telling. The educational benefits are increasing listening skills by listening to the story, speaking skills, when describing or explaining events or characters. The reader's personal reaction to the book can be expressed verbally and, reading comprehension shows understanding of the text.
