Children's Stories
As part of the Local Heritage Initiative a short series of illustrated children's stories were developed, written by Liz Pitman and illustrated by Jim Torrance.
Liz and Jim's stories are for young children and are based around the adventures of some of the wildlife found on the Common. Each story has illustrations that can be used as a colouring book.
The story files are pdf (Portable Document Format) files and you will need Adobe Reader® to download them. If you do not have this installed on your computer, please click the Adobe Reader® icon for a free download.
