Ages 7 to 8 years. A collection of three stories. Classic, fantasy, illustrated, adventure stories, strong in humour, aimed at 7/8 year olds, but also for adults to enjoy. These stores are intended for parents and teachers to read to children and for children to read to themselves. The first story is Boris & the Dumb Skulls -- Boris the skull and the dim daft dwarves are fed up of being bullied by the witch Griselda. They form a punk rock band and seek fame and fortune. But just before they leave for their first gig at The Polhill Arms two of Griseldas dead ancestors break out of their glass tanks beneath the ruined tower. Fifi Vicomtesse de Grunch is very keen on dancing. Her husband the Vicomte expresses his feelings towards Fifis dancing partners with a spanner. Not surprisingly the boys father comes to regret dancing with her. When Griselda arrives at The Polhill Arms to reclaim her property (Boris and the dwarves) things do not work out as she expects. The second story is The Dream Thief -- when the Dream Thief steals the boys mothers dream of being an artist (he sucks dreams up and keeps them in his belly) the boys and their cat Snuggle set off to rescue their mothers dream. Joined in the adventure by their mother (as a 6 year old child) they pass through the Place of Nightmares (where butterflies with butterfly nets, game birds with shot guns and fish with fishing rods try to get them) and enter the Land of Dreams where with the help of Little Dream and the Hero Dreamhogs they search for the stronghold of the Dream Thief and brave the mighty Gnargs (warrior servants of the Princess of the Night). The third story is Frankie & the Dancing Furies -- when the storm summoned by the witch Griselda (unwitting tool of the Princess of the Night) attacks The Old Vicarage the boys father is carried off along with Griselda, Boris, the dwarves and the boys mother as a child (by a cosmic freak she is blown out of a photo in the attic). They should have travelled to the Princess who wants Boris for her art collection. But the capture of the boys father was unintended. His love of rock and roll distorts the spell and all travel to the land of the Dancing Furies where the spirit of the great rock god Jimi (Jimi Hendrix) takes possession of his body. But when he causes flowers to grow in the hair of the Dancing Furies they get extremely cross.
