    About this ebook

    Gwubbins the witch sets off on an adventure in this irresistible yarn that melds magic and mystery with characters from the history books. Responding to a plea for help found in a bottle, Gwubbins finds a way to navigate through time and space to search for Pirate Children marooned on an island in the sea.

    Gwubbins leaves home far behind. In her journey across the universes she must learn her destiny and find clues to locate the Pirate Children. With the help of a Professor in the magical land of Shambala she is directed to search on planet Earth. Gwubbins and her trusty friend, The Wonky Wizard reach England in 1717, but they learn quickly to hide their true identities, as it is a dangerous place to be thought of as a witch. Luckily they make new friends and learn why the Pirate Children probably need their help. Nebulous is an escaped slave who tells them his story and takes them to Liverpool to find a boat. The friends prepare for a sea journey, but it is the Wonky Wizard who finds them a boat, in a most unusual manner.

    Once at sea they find that Nebulous, the escaped slave, has some magic of his own, as he helps them encounter a terrifying sea monster who wants to help, but is very frightening. Magical beings assist them in their quest – a strange hand and a special bird. With the help of these creatures and the master sailor they find the island and the Pirate Children, but all does not go to plan.

    The Pirate Children are un-trusting and there is an out of control dragon on the island. These things need to be dealt with, but just as things start to work out, the pirates appear on the horizon.

    Blackbeard, the most fearsome pirate of all is coming for the children and his booty – and he needs to be stopped. When the pirates land on the island there is much pirate talk and singing of shanties. The Pirate Children bide their time, then give Blackbeard the scariest night of his life.

    This story includes words from original sea shanties and authentic pirate talk. There is a section at the end where the reader can look up the meanings of words spoken by real pirates. Also at the end there is a list of people in this story who really lived - with an explanation of what they did and what happened to them - especially Blackbeard and other pirates that are mentioned.

    Author

    Ella Jo Street

    I am the author of the Gwubbins the Witch stories - a children's fiction series. I wanted to write stories that I would have enjoyed reading as a child! I am delighted to collaborate with illustrator Mary Lou Springstead who has supplied the illustrations. A gallery has been set up on line for children to send in their pictures relating to the Gwubbins stories. More details about the Gwubbins project can be found on my very own Gwubbins website - see below for address. About Ella Jo When I was younger I travelled to India three times over the years. Thus I undertook meditation classes in Bodgaya and singing lessons in Varanasi, and did many, many tarot readings. I published an article called 'The Origins of Tarot' (Femspec Magazine, 2007). This was written after research undertaken in Bengal and is now published in my book 'Does Tarot Come From India?' Travelling in Turkey allowed me to discover clues for the origins and development of Tarot. 'Journey of a Tarot Reader' begins with my travel diary. On my return home I researched my findings and I was able to expand the book. Thus 'Does Tarot come from India?' will appeal to those with a little more in-depth knowledge of Tarot, whilst 'Journey Of A Tarot Reader' can also appeal to novices. I am pleased to be able to present theories from a slightly different angle on the appearance of tarot in Europe. I have written other books that study tarot including in-depth analysis about The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress and The Emperor. If you are a publisher interested in this work, please contact me. As a singer/songwriter I continue to work on music projects. My albums: ‘Limits Of Milkweed’,‘Alter Ego’ and 'Almost Anglo Saxon' can be found through the Diamond Seeds website.
