Welcome to Puddletown High Street!
Looks completely normal, doesn’t it?
Normal bakers selling normal bread. Normal shoe shop selling normal wellies. Normal toyshop selling normal bats and balls.
But nestled between the hairdresser’s and the hardware store (which sells entirely normal brooms) is the most unusual shop:
8The Story Shop sells adventures you can BE in. With real characters you’ll actually meet!
Shopkeeper Wilbur and his assistant Fred Ferret have props and plots galore.
So, what are you waiting for? Step inside if you’re BRAVE enough.
But be warned, anything might happen…
Wilbur!
cried Fred excitedly. Are you ready to play Guess Who?
Fred Ferret loved their daily game before opening time.
His fluffy little head disappeared into the props barrel as he flung out the things he didn’t want. A wooden knight’s sword, some floppy elephant ears. Even a squawking cuckoo clock flew past Wilbur’s freshly polished counter.
Wilbur ducked. My hat,
he yelped. You nearly knocked the feather clean off!
Sorry, Wilbur.
Fred’s head reappeared from the barrel complete with cowboy hat. Guess who?
Wilbur looked up from dusting the till. Um, 11Cowboy Jim from the burpy donkey story?
Burpy?
giggled Fred. No, here’s another clue!
He peered around their cosy shop with its neat round window and worn wooden floor. Rails of costumes lined the walls alongside shelves crammed with jars of letters. Tucked between the jars were dozens of blank books waiting to be filled with stories.
Behind the counter stood a set of drawers full of story settings and characters. A Jungle drawer teemed with creepy crawlies, while the Ocean one brimmed with bright fish and the Space drawer fizzed with aliens and black holes.
To the side of the counter sat a chest of smaller props. Fred opened the lid and pulled out a bright red bandana. He tied it around his neck, grabbed a clinking money bag, then unhooked a hobby horse from a tall wooden stand.

Oh, I know!
called Wilbur. Wild Will Ferret, the meanest outlaw in town?
You got it!
laughed Fred, tossing
