Fairytales published!

I have just spent the last week getting the fairytales I wrote for my daughter uploaded to Amazon, so they an be ordered as books. They are now 8"x10" paperbacks with my watercolour and ink illustrations. This is a series I call, Modern Fairytales, as despite the dragons, fairies, witches and giants, the messages are empowering and the plots unpredictable.

 'The Princess and the Dragon'
When a terrible Dragon threatens a peaceful village,
no one reacts the way they are supposed to.
A joy to read, this beautifully written tale has all the magic
and drama of the old-fashioned bedside story, but when it comes to plot, get
ready for surprises.
A metaphor for the challenges faced by the children of the 21st century, 'The Princess and the Dragon' has important lessons in Dragon-fighting for adults and children alike.
Cherie Pugh wrote 'The Princess and the Dragon' for her own feisty princess, and based the colourful illustrations on traditional European woodblock prints.


 'The Musical King'
A fairtytale for modern children.
Everyone complains that the King loves only music, but when he
falls for a strange lady, he risks his whole Kingdom.
How far will he go to make everything right again?
With watercolour and ink illustrations inspired by medieval art.





'The Princess and the Giant'
A giant turns the life of a beautiful princess upside down.
But sometimes change can be a good thing.
A modern fairytale that spurns tradition, providing guidance for 21st century
children.
Beautifully hand-illustrated with ink and watercolours by the author.
