Bampa's Bedtime Stories are based on some of the tales that Bampa wrote for his children some 40 years ago.

Produktbeschreibung
Bampa's Bedtime Stories are based on some of the tales that Bampa wrote for his children some 40 years ago. The opening story, 'Fairies', is written from the perspective of a small child who has been told that there are fairies at the bottom of her garden and is determined to see them, however scary it may turn out to be. In 'Judgement Day', the warlike Gabblenocks, who like nothing better than to terrify their neighbours, are confronted by a gentle giant - gentle, that is, until the Gabblenocks' usual tactics push him too far! The longest of the stories, 'The Enchanted Tree', recounts the adventures of bold Billy and his less confident sister, Grace, who discover a world of strangeness and magic a few metres from their very normal home. The stories, written in graceful rhyming couplets, are evocatively illustrated by the person who perhaps knows them best - the author's daughter, Katie Willis.
Autorenporträt
After spending most of his working life in the high-pressured world of electronics, Phillip decided to step back from this stressful life and in 2004, he and his wife of 42 years, Jackie, emigrated to Portugal. In 2012, the lure of their family brought them back to the UK. He started writing after making up bedtime stories for his children some 40 years ago and he found that it came naturally to him to turn those stories into poems. He only started to consider publishing after constant pressure from his wife and daughter, Katie, (his greatest fans other than his granddaughters, Freya and Rowan) after his return from Portugal.
