My name is Donald Gibbs and I have reason to be very grateful to a plucky pair of twins. Dickie and Mary were also captured by the tree rustlers but they were left untied and managed to break through the ceiling of the room they were in, the ceiling was ...

Oim just a cow oim am but Oi know what Oi saw. They was ‘oomans, li’l ‘oomans, Oi could’ve stepped on ’em Oi could and none would’ve been the wiser. That big ‘ooman who doesna belong on our land was there tha’ noigh’ an’ ‘e saw ’em too. Oi saw ...
The world really is an enthralling place to be, it took some time but the twins have finally found that out, they’re really excited by every day that happens. Seeing Black Mag on that delightful New Year’s Day only made them more interested. The words she used made them more ...
The boy looked at me first, thirty years old I am and happy to be looked at, before moving to the copse of silver birch trees and then back to me. I was happy he looked at me again, it was his first time home alone and he was going ...
He reminded me of my old master, he knew what I wanted and how I liked to be petted. I could tell the moment I saw him, it’s the smell. The old master went away and never came back, I don’t understand why he didn’t come back but now I ...
Dear Jandy Mac, It was so good to meet you after all those years and I really felt like the cat who got the cream to be the first to greet you and have you stay with us in Kentisbury. I knew I had to take you to Jenny-Wren but ...
We had not long come to England, it is a dreary place compared to my native India, many clouds and rain, there is little sun but I must go where the Master goes as he is not well and needs much care. I well recall my first meeting with the ...
Mr. Twiddle really is such a duffer. I’m standing in the front yard minding my own business and along he comes and talks to me. He thinks I’m up to no good when all I’m doing is standing there. The children had been given clothes to dress me in and ...
Mr. McGregor was quite angry, I did not know a body that big could move that fast. It was lucky I got out of my jacket just in time, he was about to pop a sieve on top of me. It is a big pity I sneezed whilst in the ...
I lack understanding of this tale I am in. The Queen made me take Snow White into the forest, kill her and bring her heart but then someone reads another version very similar to this one and I am not there. In this other, very similar, tale the Queen takes ...
Dear Drina, It’s been wonderful knowing you, somehow you made things better when my friends moved up and I was left alone in 1a. I am so glad to hear you’re practising ballet again I know how much you need to dance, it’s the total opposite of me, I’m so ...
It could only be Paddington. We found him at Paddington Station with his suitcase, it was carefully labelled “Wanted on Voyage”. Somehow he’d managed to safely travel from Darkest Peru to Paddington Station. He had a note attached to coat and it felt right to obey the label, it said “Please ...
I’m sure some people feel she is a lovely girl, there must be someone who can like such a thoughtless creature but I am afraid I am not one of them. I find Alice to be very hard to be with. She does not think before she speaks, as we ...
I think I’m just going to declare December a debacle month, if it can go wrong then it probably will. You know about the internet and electricity problems because I mentioned them a couple of weeks ago, I’m still trying to get the garage door opener fixed, well, Sunday night ...
I have known much hardship in my life and much abuse but I will always remember those who looked after me when I was young. One of those was John. John Manly was the coachman who worked for the Squire. They were both good men but John knew when to ...
