Synopsis
Flossy the dragonfly spends the day flying about, saying hello to lots of different animals, including the very loud bullfrog Morris, the beautiful but ever-so-busy kingfisher, some not very bright sheep and Horace the pig. What unpleasant eating habits they have
Flossy flies so far from home she loses her way; on her perilous way home she meets Spartan the eagle and a group of fireflies, both of whom prove particularly helpful. Later she will encounter a pair of rather irritable magpies. During her adventures she learns many things, in particular that she should not steal from others
This is an ideal bedtime story, or adventure series for children to follow. There are six colourful illustrations of the characters in the book.
Synopsis
During the course of The Four Dreamers Return to Loch Brochan one of the dreamers, Flora, says - "I think our trips to the past are like an education teaching us about how evil exists in this world and although it may not be seen as witchcraft it is there and the moral of the trips is that good will always overcome and that we will benefit from this throughout our lives...." And this sums up the book beautifully. The four 'dreamers', Morag, Flora Torquil and Calum, continue their adventures using the strange powers of Loch Brochan to travel in time. They will experience Egypt, early Scottish history, biblical events and more, as they themselves grow in time until the day comes when they, too, fulfil their destinies.Hugh McKenzie has written a gentle book for young adventurers - a welcome addition to any child's collection of stories.
