about me

After 15 years of teaching in a variety of schools in the UK, I moved to Ireland with my wife. Although I have a range of writing projects on the go, 'In the land of Old Wives' tales' is my first completed story.

In the land of Old Wives' Tale....

Robert Cooke

In a land where Old Wives' Tales come true, Jane needs to find her way home and to save its people on the way.


Imagine a land where Old Wives' tales come true. A land where eating carrots really does make you see in the dark. For Jane, a young girl on the way to the dentist, this strange world becomes a reality. After an argument with an old crone, Jane treads on a crack in the pavement and is thrown into a wierd new world. Meeting new friends, Jane tries to understand the rules of this new land as she makes her way home. On her journey home she discovers a lot about herself and the meaning of friendship. Jane discovers that this strange world seems to have lost its sun but everyone around her thinks that she may be able to find it. Her way home is fraught with danger but also companionship, yet can she trust her new friends? Is Jane the saviour of an odd world or is she being led into a sinister trap?

Hi Patricia, I have just finished reading 'Godmother's Wand'. A wonderful tale delivered with pace and a delightful humour. I love the novel use of quantum mechanics. After the last chapter I was left wanting more. Thanks for a great story. Robert view book
