Tilly Mint Tales

Short, read aloud, or first reading, stories about the universal Tilly Mint. Used to be a northern euphemism for someone who was a penny short in a pound, a bit on the dizzy side. Mrs Hardcastle is the ideal foil for Tilly's adventures, always ready with the quotable quote. 'That sky is just about prickling with stars.' 'You're as cold as a goldfish.' Mind you it does help if you're the sort of youngster who can get lions to step out of the television screen to give you a piggyback ride across the night sky.
