 OOldFred.com (1)
This first group of short stories, nine of them, though written for younger children are suitable for all ages. Each story tells of an adventure that Fred Lonsdale had with his Grand-children, Abbie and Alex, in his rather special ‘home-made’ car. Fred’s car is much more than just a car, it is also a van and has a habit of turning into some other sort of vehicle without warning. To find out more, you must read the stories; start with the ‘Fire at Henpecker Farm’. CLICK the button to go to the stories.
