Due to the interest expressed by adult readers of The Bear The Girl And the Dog, the story has been expanded to follow Bailey right through to modern adult life. It has been designed to be able to be used for the simple pleasure of reading or to have an added dimension of personal development or group sharing. The time-honoured technique of biovantic writing has been employed.When Bailey's Daughter suddenly vanishes from her own backyard, something about the way it happens throws Bailey back into a vivid recollection of her own childhood experiences. As the reader, you will embark on a journey, with her through life, culminating in an explosion of hope and expectancy. The story has been written in true biovantic style. The author understands that many readers will not be familiar with this style of writing or its purpose. Over half a millennium before the birth of Christ, a man by the name of Aesop was born. He became one of the greatest teachers of moral values the world has ever known. His teaching lives on today because he used simple fantasy stories which appealed to children and adults alike. It is from this tradition of story telling that the biovantic method of writing has emerged. In this book the author invites the reader to allow the inner child to go back to being a nine-year-old and join Bailey and her friends in their adventure of discovery. The reader will then be able to grow with her from childhood, through puberty and eventually into adulthood. Views: 828
