The Wonka Stories

Wonka, or Willie Wonka to be formal, is a self professed adviser to humans and is a cat. His knowledge is spot on, current and of course very funny. His main sport is chasing the other cat and telling his owner what to do. His wisdom appears quite rightly in a series of short stories, and this is his first tale.

More sensible advice and observations from Wonka as his owner continues to face life bravely and alone. aside from beloved Golly and Wonka, a needy cat may yet enter the story, by the back door.

Wonka has more to say to guide his Owner through an awful time of it, pondering on his good friend Golly and wondering on why Baba is now on the inside. Witty as ever, he shoots straight from the hip and won't tolerate Humans who give up at the first post. Keep going and keep reading...

Wonka is back! and so is his new pal Baba, now on the inside of the good back door. Owner continues her struggles with Wonka always ready to spur on. Not one to tolerate failure, he recommends squaring up to each new and ghastly situation with fortitude! yes a cat for all seasons, so read on and relax with Wonka.

Wonka is back once more and brings with him, reluctantly, his simple friend Baba. Advising and talking it up you can't keep a good cat down and Wonka can advise on just about anything. It will soon be the jolly season but Owner is so far avoiding it. Can Wonka bring her round? Do read on and find out if merry Christmas is on the agenda....

Wonka is proud to present his very own tale, a Christmas Caterol for all to enjoy at this special time of year. It does of course feature his Owner, who is slowly warming up to the season of goodwill, and it will also wave a paw in the direction of that most famous of Christmas tales, by Mr Dickens. So it's a Merry Christmas from Wonka, with Owner not far behind..

Here we go again into a brand new Year, and only Wonka to help Owner press on. What with Life Planners and Financial sections, surely she can make it all happen? There is the usual casting back to the ancients, those Greeks and then we come across Wonka's favourite Edward De Bono. Plan as if you have the money! But will Owner listen? And what about Baba too......read on and find out

Wonka is such a performer, here he is again to present your Easter Story, which is all about Duffel and Sam. Easter is such a time of breaking down and starting back up again, Owner wanted a story to put things right, full of fun, rescued animals and magic powers. Duffel to the rescue then! With Wonka's approval what more can we ask? He has even let Owner's illustrations stay in....

Once more we join Wonka, the ninth in the series, and thanks to him Owner has pressed on with her goals, all set out in that Life Plan. Hurtling towards them with Wonka's fair but firm advice, surely all is going well?

Wonka is back to ease us out of the Summer and towards the next set of tricksy decisions. As per he is like an arrow to Owner's brain keeping her on target with the beloved Life Plan.

Bad fairy crouched in the chest. Able to squeeze and squash into places rather like a mouse, she nestled there now; her purpose fulfilled as it was to read the Spell locked in there, and cast by good fairy for a puppy called Diva. The Spell unfolds, and through Diva we encounter the mortal world of beings and the clash of good and bad immortalised in the ancient kingdom of Fairy. It’s magic! x

Between our world and the ancient kingdom of Fairy are the places to pass through: 'Bad fairy waited at this hole, excited by the Spell she had read and understood, and frankly in very high spirits. Her short dark hair bobbed up and down as she hovered and moved quickly round the hole, all the time calling Diva’s name. But calling it in Good fairy’s voice.' Join Diva for Part two, it's magic!

Ah Diva, caught up between two fairies in this world instead of their own Fairy Kingdom, and herself pulling Gordon along to Kelvin grove Park; Em is dithering about Glasgow and Gordon, whilst back in Hull, Kimmy dog, faithful to her collie core is advising Em’s dear mum, Ma. Dangerous trickery and fairy magic are in store, so do read the last part of the story and follow Diva! with love from us x
