  • Stories are the lifeblood of human culture and more particularly, storytelling has sharpened social thinking, encouraged cooperation and been at the centre of human creativity and learning. In his forty years as an educator, Nigel Northcott has found stories a helpful way to explain, illustrate and explore points and issues. These one-hundred-and-one stories are a blend, and whilst none are blue, they are: old, new and borrowed. Several are stories that Nigel has heard or been told and for which there may be one or more ‘original’ sources or that ubiquitous pen of tradition. What is common to the stories is the element of a moral, a meaning or lesson to be learnt and pleasure in reading them.
  • Gritty and raw, POETRY AND STORIES FROM A WORKING CLASS MIND by David Randall is a hard-hitting collection of poetry and prose with an underlying message that life can be better if we can just be better to each other. David Andrew Randall was born in 1978 and raised in Hardwick, a council estate in Stockton on Tees. It was a time when doors were left unlocked and schools never had to be fenced off. The cornfields grew high and were a playground for all. Having worked since he was 14, and suffering from long term agoraphobia and depression, this collection of poetry and stories is David’s first book. It is a raw, often harsh, but poignant and moving reflection of the life he has seen and experienced in the working class streets of Teesside. His message…? Life is hard but it is also easy and beautiful at times. You just have to open your eyes and be better to each other… Find out more at www.david-randall.co.uk

  • Disturbing Bedtime Tales is an anthology that takes the medium of the fairytale and fable to new dimensions of dark and twisted, comedic surrealism. Dark and twisted, comedic surrealism. From the story of Brasnips The Pisswitch who terrorises a village by slashing on it's vegetable yield, to the fable of The Chronic Arsestronaut, the first sexist man in outer space. These fragmented parables will leave you wide eyed and wondering if there really is a God. The Liar The Witch & The Wardrobe, The Angels Of The Garden Shed and Wee Willy Knicker Sniffer are the cautionary tales the Brothers Grimm nearly wrote but thought better of it, and the ideas Hans Christian Andersen dismissed as the onset of madness. Enjoy. And unpleasant dreams.
  • There is an island on the far side of the world called Kora-Di and on this misty island is the pool of diamonds. Diamonds, polished over the centuries in the turbulent volcanic fountain that spawned them, some the size of a man’s fist. Where is this mysterious island? It is not on any Admiralty chart. Can it be found again? When Mungo left the island, he knew he was in the South Pacific. His estimates of the island’s position could be a thousand miles in any direction from the point where he was picked up. He sailed from the island with a map and a pouch full of uncut gemstones, but after weathering a hurricane all that he had left was the map and one solitary stone. He had lived with the Walla’s of Kora-Di for three years and married the daughter of their tribal chief. He would have been content to stay there for the rest of his life, but felt an obligation to return to England and settle his affairs. With the help of the villagers, he built a canoe, stocked it with fresh water, fishing lines and enough dried fruit and fish to last him about three weeks, and then set sail, hoping to find a ship that would get him back to civilisation. He was later rescued by a tramp steamer and eventually arrived back in England. When he told his story of shipwreck, and an ancient civilisation that pre-dated the Greeks and the Egyptians, it was so fantastic that no one took him seriously, except Captain Henry Mallard, skipper of the Sea Urchin. The odyssey begins in an English village near Plymouth.
