'A warm and lively story told in John's relaxed and conversational style' --Lucy Land, Essex Life Magazine
This book started as part of John Harris's repertoire as a storyteller and now appears in print, written, as one might expect, in a witty conversational style. It is enhanced by humorous illustrations from Tom Morgan-Jones in ink and flat saturated colour. Expectation is fulfilled and confounded in turn as Charlie loses his house key in a series of madcap incidents. This small press dedicated to Harris's own work is to be congratulated on its enterprise..... this will be enjoyed by newly confident readers and will be a good addition to school library shelves. --The School Librarian

Format:Paperback
Professional story-teller, John Harris, has written a beautiful children's story, full of whimsical delight and moral fibre. His readers, whether they be young or old are left with not only a renewed sense of the importance of honesty, but of patience - as exemplified by the saintly Mrs Taylor - and of trusting in even the most seemingly ludicrous of tales. The illustrations of Tom Morgan Jones are insightful observations of human behaviour, (that of an upside-down child in a locker in search of Charlie's Key is particularly amusing) which bring life to the pages. A perfect treat to find in a stocking, Charlie's Key is full of humour and dramatic twists that may even lead us to prepare not bread for the ducks but treats for the crocs on our Christmas Day walk! Look out for the Creature of Crete, an equally as delighful take on the Greek myths from John Harris.

This book was such fun - I read it to my reading lunchtime club at school and they really enjoyed it. Lots in the story for them to identify with - and to amaze! It encouraged lots of participation and chat, and then they all borrowed it! Loved it!

Charlie's Key was recommended to me by my six year old daughter's teacher as a way of introducing her to reading - we have read it together every night since! If you have young children this is the perfect xmas gift!
