Praise for The Note

“It has something of the Little Prince about it.” (Fiona Robertson, editor, Watkins Press)

“It leaves a residue, which is the hallmark of a good story.… The Note is super – evocative and haunting as ever. You have a knack of taking the simplest thing and imbuing it with meaning, depth and resonance.” (Jonny Gallant, managing director, Alban Books)

“Great first impression.” (Rev Mary Hawes, National Children’s and Youth adviser, C of E)

“Well... it's just sheer delight. I think you may have a winner.” (Jonathan Gunson, best-selling author and marketing expert, New Zealand)

“A mesmerising, thought-provoking and tinglingly emotive story, so beautifully read. Every listener will find him or herself looking for that silvery note. Just gorgeous.” (Karen Sullivan, founder, Orenda Books)

“Just wow really! Beautiful and your voice is perfect for it - so gentle & peaceful.” (Helen Sadler, founder of Monkey Wellbeing, children’s specialist)

A wonderful short piece. Beautifully narrated against a background musical accompaniment.

Stop for a few minutes. Close your eyes. Listen on headphones, and take it in.

Superb!
