THE FLITLITS About Introductory Book 11 / DAME LaCONK / Confident Reading / UK English Version A young girl grew up like no other as a curious Nature Mother. Dame LaConk, her adult name, suits the wise and knowing dame. Her true name stays among her tales, hidden at a windy vale. A wondrous acorn fills the space found between her waist and face. Course clothes that are nicely clean show up her skin tinged mossy green. While growing up, she made up brews. These healed so many cuts and wounds. In the soil, she planted seeds. She learned to float and swim with speed. ST0RY 11 is rare and strange to tell but if you share it, treat it well. As a girl, floating with a bee, Dame found a Wish Dish on a tree. A Wish Dish scroll rolled out and grew. The young girl grasped it as it flew. Discover why this found a spring twanging and pranging: ping, ping, ping. Follow an object spreading out before it teams up with a snout. The snout smells trouble, round and about. There is hardly a thing that it fails to smell out. The dame's Shall-Tell Bell and Know-All Ball care for the Flitlits, one and all.

Author Information

Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots. Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
