'One for the quick witted. Contains a bonus Quest, rich food, challenging language, dance sequences, recycled and fictitious characters, unauthorized surveillance, rapid location changes, bold adventure and bridled passion. As the verse said, suitable for young adults and adults young. Stand-alone sequel to A Frozen Moment.'

1 y separately published work icon A Frozen Moment M. R. Collard , Australia : Palindrome Publishing , 2005 10446522 2005 single work children's fiction children's fantasy

'A satirical romp with touching undertones set in a location that is undoubtedly odd. The bizarre economy is characterized by an absence of currency and an abundance of ideas. Contains some royals, not all in their right senses, and some odd language. As the verse says, this is one for young adults or adults young.'

'Choose this and :

'You will travel in the high middle ages when the world was flat.

'Your destinations will be exotic.

'Your transport will be multi-modal

'As you stalk royals, or infiltrate low life, your guides will be:

'a gryphon with a problem

'And

'A basilisk with attitude.

'You will be puzzled, shocked, delighted, touched, dismayed.

'Like those you observe, you will, at journey’s end, never be the same again.'

1 y separately published work icon The One-Verse Gryphon M. R. Collard , Australia : Palindrome Publishing , 2005 10446407 2005 single work children's fiction children's fantasy

'The Basilisk Trilogy finds itself with a sequel and a second generation of players. Finished mid-1998, the time was ripe for blind hope. Pack your wits, grab your hat. Sometimes a romp, sometimes a complex dance. For those who have forgotten fun and those who have had the good fortune always to remember it.'

1 y separately published work icon An Ermine Tale M. R. Collard , Australia : Palindrome Publishing , 2005 10446340 2005 single work children's fiction children's fantasy

'It is 1977. There is much ado in the Nation’s Capital. Bureaucrats face extinction. You didn’t notice at the time? You weren’t alive back then? No matter. Read all about it here. Especially read, if you like unusual alliances, a touch of suspense, some nonsense and a good battle.'
