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:

THE FAIRY TALE
Four children are seeing if they like camping by pitching a tent in the back garden and sleeping in it overnight. For entertainment, one of the girls has brought along a story book to read, but learning that it is a fairy tale the two boys aren't impressed. That is, until something weird happens and they find they aren't where they are supposed to be.

Come back next month for a new Moonberry Pie story.

Previously:

SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Anna and Marty are at the theatre watching a performance of the grandfather Mesmero's magic. They've seen it earlier from the main seats, but this time they are sitting in the wings. It was Mesmero's idea for them to try and figure out how the magic trick worked. Part way through the act, something goes wrong; terribly wrong...!

BENNY'S MYSTICAL FIND
Benny Trudge was a well-known traveller who roamed the countryside pushing his pram in which he kept his personal possessions plus items he happened to pick up along the way. They were usually ordinary things that people had dropped; one of his finds, however, was quite different and rather strange. It was a bag of stones etched with mystical-looking symbols. There was something else peculiar about them: they sang like a choir of angels!

DONKEY RIDE
Every weekend the children from the orphanage are driven by horse and cart to the beach where they have donkey rides. The donkeys are concerned when on this occasion the cart hasn't arrived by the time the Boss man has his lunch. During this period the donkeys are put back in their holding pen; but it is discovered that Boss man hasn't shut the gate properly; so they decide to go walkabout on their own.

THE LOST RING
When their mother loses her ring in the garden, her children Candice and Josh offer to ask their friends to help search for it. But their friends aren't other children - they are the wild creatures which live in the garden.
