So I did. Little did I know it would take me the best part of five months and then some:-( I tried to put everything Abbie likes into it, fantasy, magic, history and mystery. So the end result is Book one of 'Secrets of the Druids'. It's a complete story in itself. Hate books that have no ending. I knew I'd be reading this to her in bed so it's a page turner (I hope:-). My greatest critics loved this story (My Kids) so I hope you do too. Feel free to write any comments you have on this tale all advice is welcome. Enjoy.Complete
