The Park by Paul Guy Hurrell
William and his parents have recently moved into a bungalow that looks over Meanwood Park. When William is in his bedroom he can see everything that happens in the park, including strange lighting over the play area.
One day, while playing with his close friend Jacob, William climbed up the climbing frame. He keeps going through a hole in the sky, which leads him on a wonderful and magical adventure. He meets Sebastian, who will guide him through this exciting place, where he encounters unusual but lovable characters, such as the Trumpars and their musical instruments and the Snafflers at mealtimes and their unique dishwashing machine.
The two companions must run and hide from the Poohy Birds, before meeting and riding in the friendly train Charlie Choo Choo, which delivers them to Gary Browns Circus.
A fantasy adventure like no other, keeping children captivated throughout this incredible journey!
About Paul Hurrell
I was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England in 1960 to a single parent family. I am the youngest of five sidling’s 4 boys and a girl. I was brought up on a council estate and my family had very little, just like many other family’s on the estate at the time.
I attended two schools as I grew up Bentley Lane infants/junior School and then onto Stainbeck High School. For me school was always hard, mainly because of my absenteeism. I wasn’t ill, it was just my mum didn’t send me (empty nest syndrome). Looking back at my school years there is a good chance I spent more times at home, than I did in school.
I officially left school in 1976 and my first full time job was making special mirror, the ones you see in pubs. I didn’t last long there before I got bored. I had a number of other jobs after that, which I didn’t stay long in any of them. One job I stayed a full day before not going back, but my record for the shortest stay was 4 hours, I walked away from this job after the hourly rate was cut from 90p an hour, down to 70p an hour.
The following year I was forced to take a job, back at Stainbeck High School repairing school desks. While here I met my wife, Beverley. We are still together and have two wonderful grown-up children and three grandchildren.
I worked for Leeds City Council, in the Housing section for 22 years, before retirement. Since retiring I have the time to carry out one of my first loves, writing stories.
