Narrative
I have written a number of
short stories for children, and have also adapted tales
from myths, legend and folklore from around the world.
Incredible Journeys follows the magical and mysterious
journeys of Odysseus, Oisín, Sindbad the Sailor, Kupe,
Mirrigan the Tiger-Cat and many more.
Narrative also forms an
important element in some of my history and wildlife
non-fiction. Lost Journals: Mysteries of the Nile
follows the fictional diary of an investigative reporter
as he travels down the Nile in 1924. His jottings are
checked against the real-life evidence of tombs, temples
and pyramids.
Activities
Many of the information
books I have written are supported by projects, crafts,
activities, games or visits. Sometimes these are the
chief focus of the book.
