Each slice of Moonberry Pie is another story

Moonberry Pie is a collection of stories for carers to tell young children; but there are no pictures. In the days before printing, story-tellers had to delight listeners with their own words; sometimes by relating actual past events, or by making up fictional tales of princes and paupers. Before continuing for the first time, anyone up for the challenge is invited to read the Introduction which provides a little guidance. Those who have no children, but just like a good story are welcome too.

Here's the latest Moonberry Pie story:

Nighthawk and Friends
As a retired sea Captain Jim Ladd had a passion for the stars in the sky and would spend most evenings outside looking up at them. He even talked to them as he had done in the past; but more than this he had some special friends he also talked to, and they lived in a wood near to his cliff-top viewpoint. He left them and was on his way up to the cliff when something terrible happened, and it would spell disaster for the fleet returning home for Christmas...

Previously:

Djangulu the Bunyip
All Jacko, Tippi and their cousins Maxine and Sam wanted was to have a paddle in the waterhole; not a good idea their parents think, so they ask Ernie the Elder to give them a talking to. Waterholes, he tells them, are where the Bunyip lives, and he's a fearsome creature who will eat them if they come near. Needless to say, his words fall on deaf ears.

The New Boy in Town
All was fine for the goannas in Soapstone Gully, until the boys and girls grew up a bit and started to take more notice of each other. The boy goannas thought it might be nice to have a girlfriend, but they didn't know how to go about it. As for the girls, they considered the boys looked pretty dull because they were all a bluey-grey colour. Then a new boy came to town, and being brightly coloured he was the one the girls wanted as a boyfriend. If he stayed, the boy goannas had no chance of getting a girlfriend.

The Off-white Knight Part One
Julian Ardnutt is a Knight, but one who is not much good at fighting. On the suggestion of his mother, his father sends him out into the wide world to improve his skills and seek a quest. So, off he goes on his horse Colin; firstly to learn what a quest is; then to find someone who will give him one. An old man he meets on the road gives him some advice, but will Julian be good enough to follow it?

The Off-white Knight Part Two
Our Off-white Knight has been given a quest - to rescue Earl Chundermor's daughter. The Lady Helen is being held captive by Lord Skulldugger, an old adversary of Julian's; and he would very much like to get the better of him. But Chundermor's soldiers have already failed in this; so what chance does a lone novice Knight stand...?
