reetings readers and listeners. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the narrator, the teller of stories, the words on these pages creating pictures in your mind. I bring to you a wonderful quest, a fantastic journey. The story you are about to be immersed in is a fairytale. Well, I guess it’s a fairytale ‘of sorts’. Okay, okay, okay, let’s analyse this. It has magic, but that’s nothing new. There’s a hero. Well, there’s always a hero. There’s a villain. In fact there’s an evil, wicked, dastardly villain. Nup, that’s pretty much par for the course in fairytales too. A fair maiden waiting for her lost love? It’s been done once or twice.

       Ah, let’s face it, when I said this was a fairytale ‘of sorts’, I was kidding myself … and you! This is an out-and-out, magical, good-versus-evil, dashing-hero, beautiful-maiden, dastardly-villain, marvelous, fantabulous fairytale! And that is so good. In fact it’s more than good, it’s necessary! There can never be too many fairytales in the world. You might need some tissues though, ‘cos there are sad bits. Go on, get the tissues. I’m not going anywhere. Dum dee dum dee dum dee … Oh hi. You’re back. Right, got your tissues? Good. Now, what else will you need? Ummm, ahhh, okay, you’ve got the book, you’ve got the tissues … I know there’s something else as well. How about you go and get a drink or something while I think about it. Or talk amongst yourselves. Pretend it’s like you’re watching the telly and there’s an ad on or something.

       Okay. Book, check. Tissues, check. Ummm, a sense of wonder and joy, yes, that’s it! HELLO! I’VE GOT IT, YOU CAN COME BACK NOW! Hi, yep, sorry for yelling, but you need to have a sense of wonder and joy. You need to get out of the real world to really enjoy this story. Are you ready then? Okay. Get comfy, and let’s go.

       Ahem hem …

      Welcome, welcome. You are about to be taken on a journey. A journey of danger, of laughter, of magic and of love. So strap yourselves in, and enjoy … the incredible journey of pete mcgee!

       Turn the page keep reading. Go on, you know you want to.

      

      

he sun streamed through the window.

      It had been doing so for a while, but eventually it came through at just the right angle. Just the right angle, that is, to go over the top of the chipped cup on the table, straight through the open bedroom doorway and smack into the left eye of a sleeping Pete McGee. The eye flinched, quivered, then opened. It closed straight away, tight, but now there were millions of tiny spots breaking the peaceful darkness
