Harry's Stories - the Road to Recovery

These stories feature two principle characters: a young boy Johnny (who has an unspecified disease) and his teddy bear called Harry. At night, in Johnny’s dreams, the pair have several adventures together.


Their exploits take part in a magical land within the dreamscape, called Happy Valley. There Harry introduces Johnny to new friends, most of whom are other bears.


Each new friend has a message of hope and wisdom for Johnny, expressed in simple terms that the youngest child of average intelligence will easily be able to grasp. With each night’s lesson and experience, Johnny learns to cope with his illness.


He also learns to relish every aspect of his existence and surroundings. He becomes stronger and wiser with each successive tale. In the final story, Johnny will have almost completely recuperated from his disease.


There are seven episodes in Harry’s Stories - the Road to Recovery. 


The stories are written in a style that young children and older people will all find easy to follow. The sprinkling of magic throughout gives an enchanting quality. Each story is very easily understood and the healing will subliminally seep through to the reader or listener. 


As well as helping the sickly child and elder co-readers or narrators come to terms with illness, the stories are intended to help people develop a Positive Mental Attitude and learn how to enjoy life more (regardless of their transient challenges, no matter how daunting their circumstances may appear at first).
