Small Knitty Gritty Folk Tales (Small Folk Tales - 2) Kindle Edition

by Christine Larsen (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

The first thing to know about the Knitty Gritty Kids is that most of them are 'Special Needs' children, rescued from the scrap heap of Life. I did not let them down as other soul-less, so-called 'parents' had.
Deserted and discarded like so much rubbish, each one begged for rescue. Some wore their saddest, most tearful expressions, whilst others relied on an unexplainable magnetism to draw me to them, to be saved from . . . who knows what? I know I didn’t imagine that whispered "P-l-e-a-s-e save me."
Unloved – after the hundreds of loving stitches that created them.
Unwanted and denied basic human and toy rights – after some dedicated knitter breathed life and souls into these wee beings.
At times, it’s a concrete jungle out there. Here are just a few of the genuine stories of born-again small folk, and their triumph against all odds.
These stories are about the True Grit of the Knitty Gritty Kids.

Editorial Reviews

Review

There has been one rating of just 2* - in a review by Jackie Ferrell for Readers' Favorite.
I felt disappointed of course, but more by the errors in the book's title, and the names of several characters, too. Strangely, this reviewer felt there was no story for children in my book. I say 'strangely', because the 5* reviews below clearly indicate the love and entertainment children have found through my words.
My wish is always to reach special places in children's hearts to encourage them to look more kindly and lovingly on their world, as I encourage them to read and hopefully to dream.One of the reasons I love to use actual photos of the characters is the feeling of reality about them, as if they could be any one of my readers' own small beloved 'children'. Far from the 'yarn dolls' Jackie Ferrell could only see, propped against walls. Hmmm...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christine Larsen is a wife, mother, grandmother and farmer, now living with her husband on a retirement farm in South Australia. Reading has been her passion all of her life, to herself and to two generations of her offspring.

Christine believes you can learn anything in this world if you first have a love of reading and a questioning mind. With this as her credo, her 'born-again' writing career began with a series of children's stories.

Next came the adult farming memoirs, with short-short stories of a farming career spanning 40+ years. The first book in her 'Old McLarsen had some Farms' series is called 'Brave Beginnings', tales of the 'farming apprenticeship', adjustments and challenges two 'city slickers' faced. The second, 'The Milky Way' is on Wattpad and is free to read for now.

Other memoirs are developing - 'Flourishing in the Fifties' (Christine's childhood) and 'Just Moodling About - My Favourite Things'

All can be read on Wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/user/cdcraftee)

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolutely Delightful Childrens Book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
Like the author, I am concerned about children being taught to love books. And this book is one that will help engender that love. What a delightful childrens book. I have sent it to each of my young grandchildren, all of whom are proud Kindle owners. I already heard from one who says it is her mostest favorite book ever. If you have grandchildren, or children, or know of children who need a boost in their reading love, this is the book to consider.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart warming book
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2013
The author seems like a very caring person who takes the time to rescue these different little knitted people who were once loved and belonged to someone who lost interest in them. She has an amazing way with words that makes the characters come alive and give them a name and a life of their own. The story around these characters in the book is intriguing and keeps you reading on. This is a really heart warming book who I can recommend to people of any age. This is a very enjoyable read with a dash of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Fantastic"!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013
"Small Knitty Gritty Folk Tales" has been written with the author's own clever, witty and imaginary outlook and gusto . A very funny read indeed! The pictures in the book, which correlate to the tales, gives the reader a visionary outlook on the 'lives' of the "Small Knitty Gritty Folk"! Would highly recommend anyone, of any age, to buy these tales. Very humorous :-)
