"That's quite a story," said her mother. "It's not a story, it's true!" said Josie.
The place where imagination comes to life
James Hywel has written over thirty children’s books.
His beautiful stories remind us of that special magical gift we all possessed as children - the gift of imagination. It allowed us to create worlds where anything was possible.
No wonder children have taken his delightful characters into their hearts.
LATEST RELEASE
500 copies of The horse with short legs were printed for The Rocking Horse Project (TRHP) and these were all sold even before they reached the shops. A second print run is underway.
James wrote and donated this book to The Rocking Horse Project in Eswatini.
This paperback can only be purchased directly from the charity

James Hywel Books go Dyslexia Friendly
We have started to implement Dyslexia Friendly Font in all our books.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, "Dyslexia influences at least 1 in 10 people and is a genetic difference in an individual's ability to learn and process information. Over 6 million individuals in the UK have dyslexia and may not have received a diagnosis."
Books showing this grey sticker will contain Dyslexia Friendly Font.
This sticker has been specially designed for people who are influenced by Dyslexia. It has a pale but not white background with a high-contrasting font colour and of course, that font is Open Dyslexia.
