About the Author:

Graham McEvoy was born in 1961 in Kingshurst, Birmingham. He did not start writing
until he was in his twenties, when he began writing comedy sketches for television.
To help his wife raise their three children, Graham took various jobs and finally
settled in Lichfield, Staffordshire, where he decided to write children's stories. A
Trip to Storyland is a compilation of his work.


Excerpt from the book:

\"Gordon," the gnome shouted over as the mud came up to his chest, "I have my foot
caught so I can't come over to you but if you can grab hold of this." Colin cast his
fishing rod towards Gordon and as the line came over Gordon reached out his arms but
missed it and the line splashed into the pond. Colin hurriedly reeled it back in.
"Gordon," he called over again, "you must catch it."
For the second time he cast the line to Gordon. Gordon could barely move his arms
but he was just able to catch the line.
"I've got it," he yelled over to Colin, "now get me out of here."
Colin began to reel in as fast as he could whilst still trying to free his foot from
between the boulders but Gordon was too heavy and Colin's rod was beginning to creak
as it bent with his weight.
"Gordon, I don't think it's going to work," shrieked over Colin, "the rod's going to
break."
"No, keep going Colin," bellowed Gordon, "keep going, I'm starting to come up."
Colin continued to reel in, CRACK! All of a sudden Colin's fishing rod snapped and
the line that Gordon was holding went slack and Colin fell backwards which freed his
foot much to his huge relief. Unfortunately, Gordon began to sink again in the thick
dark mud. The footsteps that they both heard were now on top of them and the dark
shadowy figure placed Gordon in total shade.\"
