Linda Farrelly's Rhyming Children's Stories
Linda started creating Elliot stories for her own children over 30 years ago.
The Elliot's Amazing Adventures series is a collection of some of those many stories written in rhyming verse.
Linda's instinctive graphics ability produces hand drawn and coloured illustrations that children quickly identify
with helping draw them into the Adventures and the desire to read.
Apart from Linda's readersdhip, her 5 grandchildren wait in eager anticipation for what Elliot will "get up to" next, thus helping keeping Linda's prolific creative talent on the boil.
Linda's skills led her into writing for local schools and drama groups, her productions proving to be extremely
popular and raising large sums of money for local charities.
She enjoys writing Pantomime scripts most, in particular family humour that can be appreciated by adults and children within the same production.
Local schools invited Linda to adapt popular musicals into scripts that could be performed by primary school children, one of the most successful being 'Grease'.
She's also a major contributing author to: www.Childrens-Stories.net, helping parents and teachers encourage
reading skills.
Elliot is a young boy who grows in confidence and knowledge with each Amazing Adventure.
Elliot learns about key points in history and life's values along the way through humour and friendship throughout the series.
Elliot's Grandad is instrumental in encouraging and setting Elliot off on his adventures with some magic shrinking powder and 'Basil', Elliot's toy bus.
There are currently well over 60 Elliot's Amazing Adventure Stories in the series, some are provided free one at a time on rotation within Childrens-Stories.net.
The Time Travel series is only available to buy in printed Book or eBook format (see below).
All the Elliot stories are aimed at both Boys and Girls enjoyment of rhyming stories in verse with humour which fit perfectly into the UK Schools National Curriculum.
