Towing Path Tales

Three stories in one book! How great is that! The first story, ‘A Towing Path Tale’ is about a boy, Bert Smith whose best friend is Princess, a horse. Princess rescues Bert from dangerous situations: BUT is she real? Another story about Bert. ‘Different Sorts of Lessons’ is about a strict authoritarian school and Bert, who’s not used to this, is not likely to put up with it! A dangerous situation gains him a friend. ‘One Christmas’ A Christmas Eve stroll through Brentford and Bert is lost. He values his warm coat and is set upon by thieves determined to steal it, but a friend from the past intervenes. Occasionally local dialect has been used to add authenticity to the story.
