Conker Bonkers

by Vanished / (Ac3 Dol Sub Ws)

Overview

Did you know that the Horse Chestnut tree holds a deep and wonderful secret? No? Well, nor did two small elves, Maxwell and Skippy, until they saw a special picture hanging on the wall of the church study and when Cardinal Snowfield told them of its background. This picture was to provide the inspiration for an incredible adventure that led to the crowning of "The Conker Kings" at the local village school.

This story contains many beautiful illustrations by Skippy Beresford.

About the Author

Maxwell Grantly is the nom de plume of a schoolteacher, living in a small seaside town on the east coast of Great Britain. Although he has written many short stories, he does not think of himself as an author. Maxwell is, first and foremost, merely a mathematics teacher. He simply writes just because he enjoys doing so and for no other reason. Being a schoolteacher, Maxwell Grantly enjoys reading children’s literature as part of his work as well as for recreation. However, as a writer, he does not always write books that could be described as typically suitable for the younger reader: his work is incredibly varied in both syntax and style. Maxwell produces short stories that he enjoys writing and that he enjoys reading. Sometimes he uses vocabulary and imagery that is more suited to adults. At other times, he writes directly for a younger audience. This means that some of his books may only be suitable for accomplished young readers (or for adults who might like a break from their regular reading agenda) while others may be suitable for younger readers who are still developing their literacy skills. By not targeting his work to one particular audience and by not being a professional author, it does mean that Maxwell has an incredible freedom to branch out and simply write recreationally for his own artistic satisfaction. If you enjoy reading his stories then he is pleased that you were able to briefly enter his fantasy world too, if only for a brief ten or fifteen minutes.
