Pebbles from the Brook
A hard back book containing twelve round paintings and stories.
“The pebbles in the brook were once alive. Formed from limestone they contain the countless shells of creatures that lived long, long ago in a tropical sea. A well worn footpath joins company with the brook …Generations of people have passed this way; children on their way to school; labourers to their work and families going to church on Sundays. The stones in the brook are always listening, remembering the conversations rippling over them. If you were to pick up a stone from the stream bed and hold it in the palm of your hand, you might, if you listen very carefully, hear its story.”
Ambush
“The aeroplane yawed a little as it left his hand, then righting itself, lifted on an updraft. It was alive, soaring like a seagull in the thermals along the hillside. The boy imagined himself as the pilot of the plane…to make up for the bad start to the day.”
