Moonberry Pie is a collection of stories for carers to tell young children; but there are no pictures. 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.
Starlight and Moonshine have almost completed the Quest for the Golden Gastropod - almost!
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE THREE
Caught by man-eating plants, Captain Starlight desperately needs help and Lucy comes to the rescue; then it's on with the quest. As before, the words on the ancient scroll are a puzzle, but between them our comic-book heroes find solutions. What they don't seem able to do is complete the final stage; because the only entrance to the land of the Aysee Deesee is blocked.
Previously:
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE ONE
Starlight and Moonshine have been asked to help Professor Dib-Dob with his Quest for the Golden Gastropod. Of course, Nuff-Nuff and Henshaw are there to support and arguing as usual. The quest is inscribed on an ancient scroll like a story which our heroes must act out exactly as written. The trouble is, these instructions aren't always easy to understand.
THE QUEST FOR THE GOLDEN GASTROPOD STAGE TWO
Danny is in big trouble. The Samurai are coming for him and he's lost his Moonberry Pie. As always, there is a plan to fix things which seems to be going right; for a while anyway; but although the next stage of the quest sounds pretty simple, it is anything but. And this time it is Captain Starlight who runs into danger.
THE VERY LAST CHRISTMAS PRESENT
While Lucy and Danny are wrapping Christmas gifts, Father Christmas is in Gumbyland delivering the last of his presents; but there is a problem. Following a terrible accident he will need help to deliver the very last Christmas present; so Lucy and Danny will have to join with Starlight and Moonshine to save the day; as long as they can do it before the sun rises on Christmas day.
