    About this ebook

    “It was about half three or quarter to four in the night; a wet winter’s night. Everyone was asleep in the village, except for the odd tomcat or two that were always roaming around at that unearthly hour . . .” From Outside A Dream

    From Ireland: a mystical and beautiful isle of the north eastern Atlantic Ocean renowned for its mighty storytellers comes an original story for children aged between eight and twelve. An imaginary story told by an imaginary schoolteacher to imaginary students in an imaginary Irish countryside primary school. 

    Principal, Declan McGrath is highly respected by parents, and is greatly loved by his students not alone for the way he teaches them but also for the marvellous lively paced contemporary narratives he shares with them. 

    There are twenty-nine students in his classroom. 
    In 4th class there is Amy, Brian, Ciara, Cormac, Craig, Heather, Laura, Martin, and Patrick.
    In 5th class there is Anthony, Aoife, Ciaran, David, Gerard, Jennie, Julia, Mary, Natalia, Niamh, Sean, and Thomas.
    In 6th class there is Colin, Emily, Finbarr, Hugh, Natasha, Owen, Sophie, and Tara.

    He uses storytelling very effectively to refine his awareness of the wellbeing of his students. Occasionally, they will say out things during a storytelling session that they would not say otherwise. 

    Their storytelling time is every Friday afternoon, and the 1st story up is titled: From Outside A Dream

    Although all the stories have a local Irish setting they are not parochial; far from it for they aspire to and deal with universal themes and concerns in a way that a reader in any part of the world will be able to relate to and enjoy.
     
    The world is ripe for the fresh voice and personal style found in these multi-layered story lines; stories which parents and teachers alike will also find most appealing and indeed quite useful for their own storytelling.  

    Principal McGrath’s marvellous stories always finish with: 

    {And that, Students is today’s story.
    Thank you; thank you Teacher.
    That was a great story.
    We will be thinking about it and looking forward to next week’s one.
    Me too; me too.}

    The next story is titled: Resting On The Horizon and it will be available from Sunday, 17th July 2016.
