Charlie, The Migrating Snail: Book One - The Journey Begins by Anthony James Donnelly
A simple, yet magical story of a young, curious snail named Charlie, who is picked on and bullied for being so small and asking questions. He decides to leave the safety of Snail Garden and travels to far-off lands, meeting an array of creatures and people who further fuel his thirst for answers. A parable-like tale suitable for classroom and home use, Charlie's adventures will delight both children and adults alike. Accompanied by lovely artwork by two young readers, Aimee and Grace.Originally written over 30 years ago, when the author was just 16, this story was passed over by over 100 publishers. Dismayed, the author-to-be shelved the project, but avidly kept writing. With all his personal travels, the original manuscript was thought lost for all time. Luckily, a family friend had kept hold of a copy, commenting how good the story was. Now, thanks to the simplicity of self-publishing and online marketing, Charlie's first adventures are being shared with the world at long last.
