Victoria The Wednesday Market Bus – Story for children

This is one of two books that were the very first that I was commissioned to write – originally for Blackie Books and Puffin paperback.

Victoria may be a very old bus but she has always managed the journey to market every Wednesday. Then one day, as she is climbing the last hill into town, the most terrible thing happens… A delightful story for children set in the countryside with a beautiful of bus and bunch of characters on their way to the Wednesday market.
