Old Mother West Wind Tales by Muz Murray

The Award-winning Bedtime Book that Begs to be Read Aloud

Old Mother West Wind Tales is an utterly delightful updated version of the century-old classic by Thornton W. Burgess, completely rewritten in a lyrical and easier-to-read-aloud poetical version for today’s parents.

Children delight in the mischievous antics of the animals and birds of the Grassy Green Meadow, the Pollywig Pool, and the Windily Wood. All the old favourites–Johnny Chuck, fly-gobbling Grandfather Frog, Jimmy Skunk, and sly Reddy Fox—are joined in their adventures by new characters such as Billy Brock, little Zoëy Otter and her brother Otty, Sneezle the Weasel, and Toby Cockles the Terrapin.

And fun facts about the real-life habits of the animals portrayed in the stories are found after each chapter, offering educational insights into wildlife.

Each chapter is a separate story, only ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes long; being ideal for bedtime reading suitable for 3-year-olds and upwards, and for early readers from 6 -12 years.

These gentle rhyming bedtime tales from a timeless world charm adults as much as children.

Discover…
· How the Merry Little Breezes Saved Mrs. Redwing’s Eggs
· Why Grandfather Frog has no tail
· Why Jimmy Skunk wears stripes
· How Pee-Tee the Prankster Rabbit got his Comeuppance
· How Reddy Fox had a Terrible Fright
· How Little Zoëy Otter Saved Grandfather Frog
· How Johnny Chuck Found the Best Thing in the World
· And many more amusingly quirky stories…

Sixteen wholesome stories encourage friendship, kindness, heroism, justice, and above all, a love of nature and respect for creatures of the wild. They also cover vanity, pride, wilfulness, bullying, boasting, mischievous pranks, and their karmic comeback. The tales have gentle moral pointers that show the consequences of specific actions, like, “Whatever you do, will come back on you.”

The book will appeal to lovers of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit,the Brambly Hedge books, and The Wind in the Willows.

Death’s Head

About Death’s Head

As the war in Europe winds down, a unit of battle-fatigued GIs are tasked in liberating the survivors of the infamous Verurteilt concentration camp, in theory a relatively simple rescue mission. Upon arrival, Sergeant Rance Hawkins and his four young charges are ordered to search an unmapped area beyond the main camp for evidence of a separate, clandestine compound, reportedly created for high-ranking SS officers to further torment and torture. Their quest will eventually lead them into a nearby coal mine, where a young camp survivor claims that her mother and other refugees are being held. Inside the murky caverns, the motley crew of dogfaces discover revelations so terrifying and vile as to make even the inhuman atrocities of Verurteilt seem tame by comparison.
