Old Mother West Wind Tales

by Muz Murray

Overview

The Bedtime Book that Begs to be Read Aloud

Old Mother West Wind Tales is an updated version of the century-old classic by Thornton W. Burgess, rewritten in a lyrical and easier-to-read-aloud modern style.

Children will delight in the mischievous antics of the animals and birds of the Grassy Green Meadow, the Pollywig Pool, and the Windily Wood. All the old favorites--Johnny Chuck, fly-gobbling Grandfather Frog, Jimmy Skunk, and sly Reddy Fox—are joined in their adventures by new characters such as Billy Brock, little Zoëy Otter and her brother Otty, Sneezle the Weasel, and Toby Cockles the Terrapin.

And fun facts about the real-life habits of the animals portrayed in the stories are found after each chapter.

Each chapter is a separate story, only ten, fifteen, or twenty minutes long; being ideal for bedtime reading.

Discover...
• How the Merry Little Breezes Saved Mrs. Redwing’s Eggs
• Why Grandfather Frog has no tail
• Why Jimmy Skunk wears stripes
• How Pee-Tee the Prankster Rabbit got his Comeuppance
• How Reddy Fox had a Terrible Fright
• How Little Zoëy Otter Saved Grandfather Frog
• How Johnny Chuck Found the Best Thing in the World
• And many more quirky and whimsical stories

These wholesome and gentle rhyming tales from a timeless world tend to charm adults as well as children.

The book will appeal to lovers of Beatrix Potter, Brambly Hedge, Animals of Farthing Wood, and Wind in the Willows.

About the Author

Hi folks! My name is Muz Murray. Once upon a time... I was a surrealist painter, a scenery and costume designer in the theatre, actor, songwriter, nightclub singer, and world-travelling adventurer. Escaping death by inches while hitchhiking all down Africa, and clinging on to the outside of an express train all through the night as a wandering monk in India, during my search for spiritual knowledge from masters of many traditions, the media have dubbed me “The Indiana Jones of Yoga.”

Author of four spiritual self-help books and two for children, as well as several study CDs, over 50 videos on YouTube, plus interviews on BBC TV, Dutch and Italian TV networks, and a life-story documentary on Netflix in a series named Fractals.
Finally, after half a century as a spiritual mentor, teaching yoga secrets all over the world, it is now my pleasure to live a hermit-style life in the hills of southern Portugal, with a thousand geckos (and the denizens of the Grassy Green Meadow and Windily Wood) as my only companions.
