Here at Gizmo Publications we love storytelling.

 

True tales, re-imaginings of myths and legends, fiction, memories - we love telling them, writing them and reading them.

 

We're developing a range of books for children that take them on time-travelling tours, inspire imagination, create curiousity and stimulate their storytelling skills.

 

Our first in the Strange Tales series have been tested with 7-11s in schools, at festivals and on storywalks. Here are some of their comments:

 

 

'Scary but fun.' Grace, 8, The Grinning Gargoyle, Strange Tales in the Dales

 

'That was well spooky.' Matthew, 9, The Headless Horseman, Strange Tales in the Dales

 

'Gory. I loved it' Hannah, 10, The Boar's Severed Head, Strange Tales in Bradford Dale

 

'Boggarts are brill.' Matthew, 9, Boggarts of Bradford Beck, Strange Tales in Bradford Dale

 

And here's some comments from big children:

 

'I was gripped by The Necklace and Black Whipper.' Chris, '70ish', Strange Tales in the Dales

 

'I'm going to take a picnic and visit the sites of the stories.' Jane, '40ish', Strange Tales in the Dales

Enjoy!
