CHAPTER 3
A tale from Grandma Quicke’s exercise book
I’m going to tell you a story. A true story. From way, way back in the days before cars or lorries or aeroplanes, when everyone went around on juddering pushbikes or snorting, stamping ponies and you had to wind your wristwatch up every single day or you’d get lost in time.
Way back then – lots and lots of greats ago – lived your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- grandmother. Her name was Lucy Cooper, and she lived in the town of Farstoke, far away from anywhere else in the world.
