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.
The latest story:
THE WICKED QUEEN OF BEASTROG
Wollo used to be a happy place; but on the neighbouring island of Beastrog reigned a wicked Queen who wanted to rule over all. Hearing of the forthcoming wedding of Prince Winstead of South Wollo to Princess Imogen of North Wallo, Queen Angina was very aware that this would unite the island of Wollo into a single, powerful realm, making it much harder to invade. So she must hatch an evil plot to prevent it.
Next month, another Drumlins story.
Previously:
THE OLD RATTLETRAP
Bertha, the last of the steam trains, sits at the platform of Boulder Pass station. After the station was closed due to danger from rock-falls, the old train is now just a tourist attraction along with the hotel. When a bus load of tourists is stranded by a snow storm, they have to stay the night; which is fine until an avalanche threatens to bury them all. It seems Bertha is their only hope of escape; but she hasn't run in years. Can she do it one more time...?
WILLY-WILLY'S FUNNY TURN
As Penelope the gentle breeze was drifting through town, she heard the people there were upset that the beach was so messy that nobody wanted to visit it anymore. Calling on her brother, Willy-Willy, she asked him to help by picking up the rubbish and taking it back to the tip where it had blown from. Unfortunately, Willy-Willy misunderstood and took all the rubbish instead to where it definitely wasn't wanted.
