Witches, Dragons and Princesses

In the pages of this book you will find stories and poems to delight young minds.

In the poetry you will discover the gentle rhythm of the rhyme and perhaps, along the way, a smile or two.

In the stories we have a lonely young witch who, by her actions, saves the day.

A kind-hearted dragon who fights a battle and becomes a hero and a rather spoilt young princess who, in time, becomes much much more.

They each have an adventure that will help them find their way to their own ‘happily ever after’ ...

Lucky little Pip with his wild flights of fancy!

Will Power

He is universally regarded as the world’s most influential writer, whose works transcend cultures and time. Yet, in his homeland, one person in five has never seen or read a play by William Shakespeare.
The author of this book believes the reason that so many fail to make the acquaintance of the Bard lies in the classroom. He feels the introduction to Shakespeare is made in the wrong way and to pupils of the wrong age.
This book attempts to show that simple rhymes, evoking the powerful moral themes of Shakespearean drama, can engage the interest of young children more effectively than confronting teenagers with an incomprehensible text.

The poems and short stories capture childhood interests and ideas that are current and timeless.
