Out of Bounds
We are the young people,
We will not be broken!
We demand freedom
And say
'Away with slavery
In our land of Africa'
From 'The Typewriter, 1976'
Call of the Deep
Two magical stories of the sea where sometimes it brings dreams…sometimes it brings nightmares.
Ancient tales of mermaids from Brittany and Cornwall still enchant us today. Beverley tells them afresh for Barrington Stoke's Reloaded series to lure even the most reluctant reader!
The Great Tug of War
These tales of Mmutla, the clever hare, echo the African origins of America’s Brer Rabbit. Beverley has laughed at his tricks since she was a child…
These stories are a real treat for children and adults alike... The black and white illustrations add a unique humour of their own. Perfect for reading aloud.

Global Tales
I love this book of short stories, beautifully written, carefully selected, fruitfully placed alongside each other. The stories will open up aspects of the wider world to anyone who reads them...The editors have provided very valuable notes on the authors, and ways of working with the stories... A must for the school library, and every English department should have a set.
