Reviews of books by Zoe Ainsworth Grigg
The Fabulous Miss
Flimp
This is based on my mother’s life. As a Quaker
she was born in the 1920’s and lived through the second world war. She was an artist and worked for the Quaker
chocolate firm Cadburys. In the thirties She painted many scenes for chocolate
boxes having graduated from the Birmingham, School of Art They encouraged her to join the Quaker
ambulance service When WW2 broke out.
As an extension of that, the story is about
partying. We all love to party, what girl doesn’t? but there comes a point when
we take stock of what we do and wonder if we should spend more time working on
the things that are important. What is
important?
Miss Flimp has life experience in emotional
things: love, friendship and goodwill.
Will she succeed in life? – read the book. The ending is a metaphor or us all.
I will give a free pattern to make the Miss Flimp doll with every purchase please contact me through my website.

The first book of the
series. Miss Flimp is a doll who is lonely and frustrated and largely
ingnored. This happens from time to time
to us all. What can she do to alter things?
Out of boredom one night she uses the computer.
Then fate takes a hand.
That is a metaphor
for everyone’s life, our lives are a combination of creative ideas, hard work
and a smattering of fate.
We all wonder what
our lives will be like in the future. Miss Flimp is made happy by her eventual
destiny.
Miss Flimp’s Friend
Loves Books.
This book was written for my very young granddaughter who
loves books. Educationally she will grow into it. It is interactive and invites children to
write their own story. Recently chosen by Norton Fitzwarren CofE Primary School
as their term project.
I was inspired by the fact that there are sites on the
internet that publish books written by children and I wanted to write a book
that would inspire them to do this .
Available www.amazon.com
and also at my book store at Blurb.com

Write a poem about the mice on the website and I will

This was written for the boys in my family. All little boys seem to like cars. This is based on a true story about a police
car a Ford Escort that was renovated by enthusiasts. The book contains a link
to the news item on the BBC.

The idea about the book.
Travel is not without its dangers.
We meet all kinds of people on trains and buses. We all have a friend that is a “Know it all”
Miss Gamp is a “Know it all!” We don’t know what accidents might happen or what
we can do. This is a book about experience teaching us a lesson in life.
Promotion Tell me about your favourite toy and answer the
question---- How does Miss Gamp get home?

This book was inspired by my cats Millie and Poppy. They say that people own dogs but Cats own
their owners. Certainly our cats get us to do quite
extraordinary things Poppy meows when she wants the fire on or the door opened
or treats or food, she loves to sit in the airing cupboard. Whereas Millie is a garden cat. This territory is hers and she tries to get
us to stay in the garden and come out in the garden as much as possible
This book is for cat lovers everywhere. A family moves into
a new environment and encounters difficulties.
Cats in the vicinity come to their rescue and hep them to find
friendship.
If you read this book put a photo of your cat and a review
on my website.
Miss Flimp Fundraises
This is a free book and will remain so. The book is an introduction to the world of
Miss Flimp. It is based on my
hobbies. I volunteer for a charity and
do a lot of work for them. I also belong
to a craft cooperative and sell my craft work.
I often sell my craft too for Purple Field Production www.purplefieldproductions.org
I think children do get worried about some of the adverts
about the disadvantaged . Even if we
spend just a little of our time thinking about them this gives us peace. Find craft activities to sell for charity zoeainsworthgrigg.blogspot.co.uk

Review of Frozen the DVD
This film from the Walt Disney stable is destined to become a classic
for many years. Loosely based on the fairy tale of The Snow Queen by
Hans Christian Anderson, I am sure he would have been delighted. The
graphics are wonderful and best viewed on the big screen but the
animations will delight everyone. The twist in the ending, would gain
approval from Carl Jung and 1960's feminists alike. A thoroughly
deserved box office success.
five stars - thoroughly recommended
