Booklover, bookseller and reader Robert Topp has a fabulous site called Read Me A Story, Ink, which is a great free resource for parents, teachers and children. At Read Me A Story, Ink, you can find searchable lists of short stories for children by hundreds of authors, with the full text available for download and print out, and some stories also provided as appealing audio readings by Bob himself. A guide to reading age is also given, along with the name of the publication the story first appeared in, and all authors have given their full consent for stories to appear on the site.

I’m happy to say that eight of my stories appear on Read Me A Story, Ink, with most as downloadable print files and a couple as audio readings too. A full list follows. Head over and have a look–and a listen!
