Imogen's Adventures in Angel-Wing Forest

Book excerpt: I was inspired to write this book after watching my young granddaughter Imogen playing in my garden one summer. From an early age, Imogen began to show signs of having an extraordinary imagination. When in trouble with her grandma over small transgressions, she would quickly say that it was the naughty little elves in granddads garden that made her do these naughty things. Hearing this, I decided to place a few small elves, fairies, gnomes, and pixies in parts of my garden. I have to say that this idea really took off. Imogen began to invent really outlandish stories of the fun she was having in the garden with the naughty little elves. So much so that I began to add other little characters into the garden. As I began to write this book, I suddenly became as much of a child as my granddaughter. I began to create, in my head anyway, lots of different characters and the different things that they would get up to. Every time I would sit in front of my PC to write another story, I suddenly became a child once again. I found myself almost believing in the adventures that I was writing about. Not only was I beginning to believe in the adventures but I found myself being dragged into the stories. It was as if I was really there in Angle-Wing Forest with my granddaughter Imogen. When I had completed this collection of adventures in Fairy Land, I gave them to my granddaughter to read, and she loved them. So remember, people, if you can set aside all your adult thoughts and your adult ways for one day, then you just might enjoy the adventures in Angel-Wing Forest with your own beautiful children.
