~Reviews~


"Timelines is an anthology of fresh and original historical fiction for young teens by some of the Manchester Writing School's best new writers." Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy CBE OBE, Creative Director of the Manchester Writing School at MMU.~

~"A brilliant history illuminated by dreams and adventure. From the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period to young footballers in 1945, this anthology reminds us of the power short stories have to transport and enchant. Here, children witness wars, poor-laws, the Fire of London, Kings and plagues. But as well as animating major events, story-telling through the child's eye proves that it's the human-story that brings history to life." Poet and Educator Mandy Coe, Visiting Fellow of the Manchester Writing School at MMU. ~
