Tales from the Adventures of Algy
A series of exciting and unusual illustrated chapter books for children, suitable to be read alone by children aged 7 or 8 and upwards, or read aloud to those aged 5 and 6. Many adults also love Algy's Tales, with the oldest known reader aged 89!
The stories all take place on the wild west coast of the Scottish Highlands, and feature the wild animals and birds, the beautiful, rugged landscape and the wild, unpredictable weather of this very special area. As one reviewer said, the writing "quite literally transports the reader to a far away place of sun, sea, islands, storms and beauty. You'll think you've been there by the time you finish the story!"
