So come with me and enjoy the magical journey that two special little girls and their father embarked upon once they discovered......The Fairy Door!
To wet your appetite, here is the first page of my book.....I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for taking a look...
"The
piece and quiet of that crisp summers morning was shattered in an
instant by the piercing shrieks from the two little girls.
"Daddy!
Daddy!.....there's sparkly dust all over the floor!" It's all
over our pillows and bed!"
The
girls father sleepily rolled over and unsuccessfully attempted to
open a very heavy eyelid. "Who's made all the mess then? You'd
better clean it all up when you are finished."
The
girl's father was in no mood for housework this morning, and
certainly in no rush to jump out of bed at stupid o'clock in the
morning. He had been up for most of the night working on a secret
project. He did these things now and again and was very, very tired.
"We
didn't do anything daddy, it was already like it when we woke up."
The
girls father put the chatter down to the usual childhood antics that
swamp a kids imagination at that age. He decided to play along with
the imaginary game , at least it would keep them occupied for a while
and who knows, maybe it would allow him a few more minutes of peace
and quiet. Oh how wrong could a person be!
"Where
does the sparkly dust go then?" he called. There was a rushed
scamper of little feet as the girls followed the fine trail of
twinkling powder around their room. Over their beds, across the
pillows, through the big heap of toys on the floor and out of their
bedroom door. Finally it led them out onto the landing. The sound of
footsteps came to an abrupt stop.
The
sparkly dust disappeared around the thick bannister post at the top
of the stairs. The girls were now on their hands and knees, carefully
and warily creeping forwards inch by inch. There
was an air of excitement as the girls looked around the top of the
stairs, they were now holding hands for extra courage.
They
were whispering now, something their daddy heard and was ever so
slightly unsettled by. Whispering or quietness was usually a sign
that the girls were up to something,
and nine times out of ten it was mischief. He thought to himself that
if he ever bran a parenting class, much more emphasis would be placed
on the dangers of lying in when your kids are awake. Chaos and
devastation normally followed an incident of this.
Then
came a cry that totally obliterated any chance of the girls father
getting a peaceful lie in, evidence of a discovery that was to change
the lives of those two little girls forever."
Thank you for reading.....
