A Diary of Bedtime Stories is a book of fables with 21 illustrations. These are fairy stories with a difference as a mother tells her twin daughters stories from her childhood as adventures she experienced. Each day the tale varies greatly; from fairies; Christmas Elves "out of season" and witches who dress in the colours of the rainbow, to nature coming to life; birds talking, water dancing in patterns and much more. Each story is magical and different, and each one takes you on a journey to different lands. The fact this is written as a diary with "Monday's Story", "Tuesday's Story" and so on, means there is no need to wonder what story to choose; just pick the story for that day. These are suitable as bedtime reading for young children and as self-readers for young children aged around 9+. This has 21 colour illustrations. Also available in smaller version in black & white (7 illustrations) is Isbn: 978-1-304-08855-0.

Review:
Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite 5 Stars
Jill Vance has written a wonderful fairy tale in A Diary of Bedtime Stories that will capture the hearts of young and old alike. It's the type of story that stays with you for a long time, that demands to be read over and over again. As the reader progresses through the daily entries of magical experiences, there is a sense of wonderment. The reader begins to believe that the author, the narrator, is really a magical person herself... after all the gift of being a good writer, a superb storyteller, is also a gift of magic.
