All the animals are in a panic. The elephant's sneeze would blow the monkeys out of the trees, the feathers off the birds, the stripes off the zebra. Even the fish and the fly, the crocodile and the kangaroo, know what a catastrophe that sneeze would be. "Please don't sneeze!" they beg. . . . The classic story of an enormous sneeze in the marking, told in sprightly nonsense verse, has been newly illustrated in full color to delight a new generation of fans.

The dialogues between Golyga and Lilly, collaborators across the veil, are as entertaining and revealing as the stories of the book’s characters. Golyga, his beloved, Lillykins, her brother, and the family baby - shape-shifters all - encounter adventures conjured by Golyga’s ever fertile imagination and each new character we meet - from the ash-breathing dragon to the ambitious frog, from the old woman who sang to the arrogant lark who laughed at her, and many more, - each one delivers life-lessons by way of amusing and memorable tales of adventure, of misadventure, of parables and yes, occasionally, by way of the plain spoken imparting of wisdom.

Like many young boys, Cory Young grew up with an imaginary friend. In Cory's case, it was his ancestor Brigham Young--or rather, "Brother Brigham," as Cory knew him.

Now grown up with a wife and two young sons, Cory has sacrificed his dreams to earn a living for his family. Brother Brigham is just a distant memory-until one day he returns in a most unexpected way. As Brother Brigham's appearances and instructions grow increasingly bold, Cory struggles to hold together his faith, his marriage, and his sanity.

A story of utter nonsense to entertain and delight young and old alike. The Party Line is inspired by the Heart of Wales Railway that runs across the centre of Wales from Shrewsbury to Swansea where, even today, if you want to board the train you have to put out your arm to indicate to the driver you want him to stop. A friendly bunch of seven 19th century steam engines travel from various parts of the country and meet up at the Sugar Loaf station and goods yard to celebrate Rosebuds birthday. All except one. Puffing Billy. Hes the first ever steam engine in the world and worked for 50 years at a coal mine. Unfortunately his railway track was straight and it had no bends so he never learnt to go round corners. Poor Billy. All the engines, except Rosebud, were built in the 19th Century and hauled passenger and goods trains around the country and can still be seen in various museums. (Puffing Billy is in the Science Museum, London.)
