    About this ebook

    Books today seem to miss the warmness of Beatrice Potter, the old world charm of Wind in The Willows.
    Tumbling Downs has been read to two grades of children in two different schools, years 3/4 & 5/6. The response amazed me.
    I thought theyd be bored as Vampires, and other nasties are the norm. Tumbling Downs has humour, adventure and intrigue.
    At no time did I think Tumbling Downs would go as far as it is.
    I really didnt think children would be interested but thanks to two teachers who gave me the opportunity, here we are.

    Marie Boyson

    There are some who would say I am strange, eccentric, odd. To the above I claim all traits. Without them who would I be? Someone else obviously. My life to most would be boring, my calling in life is of a servant, with the aim to please all who come across my path. Money means little to me, only as a necessity to life otherwise the concept is evil. In saying all these things about myself there was a time when life was very different. My God has placed me in many places and situations that were dangerous or dark. Only when the day was reflected on did the thought cross my mind “that was scary”. I say My God as my aim is not to offend anyone whoever you call your God is fine by me, we all need to believe in something or someone. Who or whatever your belief may it bring you peace as my love of my Lord has for me.
