Amy Claire and the Legs (1987) (Post 239)
Amy Claire and the Legs is the story of Amy Claire, who gets lost at the agricultural show. She runs about looking for her mum, but all she can see is legs. Eventually, she finds the right pair.This story came from two sources. One was when I took my children to the show and we had problems seeing any exhibits. I could see over shoulders, but all my (small) kids could see was people's legs. The other source was when I was in a supermarket minding my own business when suddenly a small child tore up, grabbed my legs and laughed up at me. The look on that poor child's face when it realised I wasn't its mum! Clearly, one pair of blue-jeaned legs looks much like another when you're less than a metre tall. Amy Claire and the Legs was another case where there seemed not to be a single cover picture on the internet. There is now.

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist. If you enjoyed a post, or want to ask about any of my books or my manuscript assessment service.
