THE ADVENTURES OF

Jamie, Lord of Ledbury

Story and illustrations by Jay Kerr

Something magical happens after the lights go out in Jamie’s bedroom at night. He wakes up to find himself in a castle instead of his house. Sometimes taking Slurpo the Spotted Dog with him, he goes out to seek adventure in the forest and fields around the town of Ledbury.

Jamie, Lord of Ledbury, meets lots of different creatures on his travels — some good and others bad.

The Fork in the Road

In this story Jamie, guided by Hoooey the Owl, tries to find the cabin where Growchel the Wicked Witch lives. The only problem is to get there they have to go down the dark, scary path on the left. The path Jamie’s dad told him never to go on.

Also, he’d left his best friend, Slurpo sleeping at home and that might have been a BIG mistake...
