Children's fairy tales · 2019
Once Upon a Week
Seven new never seen before fairy stories, each based around a proverb.
Seven new traditional fairy stories, each one based on a proverb, so each ends with a little life lesson – with maybe a light chuckle for the reading parent too.
The story behind the book
In 2019 I decided to work on an idea I had sketched out years ago and Once Upon A Week was born. Currently my only kids book. A small collection of seven stories based on proverbs which I thought parents could read to their kids, one per night for a week, hence the title. This too I published on Amazon via KDP after the usual round of rejections. Again, there were sales and complimentary reviews but not enough.
What readers have said
“What a little gem of a book. Wardle is a great storyteller. Bought an extra copy for a present.”
“I bought this to read as bedtime stories for my grandsons and it fits the bill perfectly. Nice little stories and just the right length.”
“Such a cute book. Highly recommend. I enjoyed the stories in this book. And definitely a great value for all you’re getting. The stories were the perfect length for my son who is 7 years old; they held his attention and kept him engaged. Overall good stories, and a helpful way for little minds to use their imagination, practice reading and increase their vocabulary. I would recommend to everyone!”
