William and the Wolves
Stephen Player
William has had enough of being Mary's older brother, and when her imaginary friend Lamb delights their parents and grandparents with his coy and manipulative ways, William grits his teeth and invents, not one, but six, wolves to fight back. All goes well until the wolves get out of hand and Mary begins to cry. A very cleverly written story with masses of room for character voices and dramatisation, giving a careful insight into family relationships of all sorts. All that and gentle humour makes this an enchanting read.
