MIDSUMMER MOON
Midsummer Moon tells the story of lame-footed Princess Sharma, who lives under the spell of the Forest Sorceress. One day, a poor young woodsman is sent up the mountain side to the Enchanted Forest, bringing a pair of ‘magic slippers’ for her to dance in.
The beautifully produced MIDSUMMER MOON Story Workbook features narration, sound effects and music.
READ INSIDE THIS BOOK
Believe it or not," said Count Owl, "I can trace my family roots all the way back to the Transylvanian House of Kronenberg. Once upon a time we were Lords of the forest!"He looked down from the oak tree and a huge tear dropped from his yellow eyes. The Count was talking to Mistress Grimsly Mushroom who was the headmistress of the Grimsly Mushroom Academy. She taught lessons here under the oak tree from dusk to dawn.
"Hush, girls, stop your giggling," she said to the grinning toadstools. They were dressed, as usual, in crimson hooped skirts spangled with bright spots, which was such a bad example for her serious young ladies at the Mushroom Academy. "Now, does anyone remember last night’s lesson? What are the best colours for young ladies?"
"Woodbark brown," answered one of her brightest pupils.
"Very good," said the headmistress. "What else?"
"Creamy satin for evening dresses."
"Excellent!" said Mistress Grimsly with a smile. "And occasionally, I might allow a dainty flush of rose pink."
Some excited chattering broke out among the toadstools.
"I said only occasionally," said the schoolmistress. "At most, once or twice a year, at the Feast of the Midsummer Moon."
"Oh, Mistress Grimsly, what happens then?" asked little Marsha Mushroom, poking her head out of the ground. She often arrived late and so she had missed a lot of what was happening.
"Well, everyone dresses up in their finest gowns and we all have a midnight feast to celebrate the coming of summer."
"Oh, that must be such fun! When is the Feast of Midsummer?"
"Not soon," said Mistress Grimsly. "The ground is bitter cold and spring is late again this year."

What parents, children, teachers, librarians and book reviewers are saying about THE MILLENNIUM TALES
The story is beautifully narrated on a companion CD with music and sound effects. Useful for a Fairy Tale Unit or as an independent enrichment activity in a learning centre or resource room setting; these four workbooks encourage vocabulary enrichment, and critical and creative thinking through an entertaining medium that children will enjoy.
I used the PRINCE CHAMELEON WORKBOOK as a shared reading exercise. I found the work was pitched at exactly the right level. The story promoted a really interesting discussion, and the whole held the children’s attention throughout, giving rise to further discussion at a later date.
I have a three-year-old girl who is mesmerized by the stories and pictures. Brilliant concept!
I liked the short excerpts. It fitted well with my short time slots, and the children were enthusiastic about doing the exercises.
The Prince Chameleon Workbook is most impressive—maybe our teachers can use it as a model,
The children were enchanted by Prince Chameleon ... spellbound.
In THE NORTHERN ISLE OF DREAMS, the author...has succeeded in writing a narrative that works at several levels and that will appeal to a variety of age groups.
The rich language makes learning enjoyable and rewarding.
It’s good because it encourages children to look up words they don’t know in the dictionary.
Nazia enjoyed listening to the PRINCE CHAMELEON story. Although recently arrived in the U.K. and struggling to learn English, she was very much attracted to the book and made a great effort to understand the audiotape and story.
Adolescent enthralled - by intriguing fairy tale, THE NORTHERN ISLE OF DREAMS.
The children found the language and imagery vivid and stimulating.
The children enjoyed both the stories and the tapes; even those pupils with language difficulties managed to follow quite well. The worksheets are very useful. I think what you are offering is ideal.
The children were really enthusiastic about adapting the story of PRINCE CHAMELEON into a playscript, and performing the play before an audience. Although the story’s theme and plot are complex, the children showed genuine insight into its meaning.
Thank you for the copy of the first workbook PRINCE CHAMELEON. It is very well produced.
My daughter read Prince Chameleon and managed to read the instructions, draw all the illustrations and complete the exercises without any help. She then took the book on holiday to India with her and returned with it in her schoolbag. Once school started again in September, she refused to part with it.
Thank you for THE MIRROR AND THE BEAST Workbook; I was absolutely enchanted by it. What you are doing at Prince Chameleon Press is of vital importance – to expand the mind and imagination, and enrich the vocabulary of the upcoming generation
The tape is wonderful. I listen to it every day.
