These fourteen children’s stories first appeared in “Lilly and Ian, Mouse and Dragon” which was published by Partridge, Singapore in 2015.
That book was inspired by the author’s love of a Chinese woman called Lilly.
Of this collection the author writes,
“I showed other stories I had written to a publisher in China and he said they did not teach the children anything and was not interested in publishing them.
So I left and wondered what the best thing to teach a child was.
I am still asking myself that same question.

Then one day he saw something which truly changed his life. He found a website which had lots of information about a special secret which has been kept from everybody for a long time. All the world governments know about it but they do not tell the people because the governments are owned by big businesses and they need to make money from us somehow. Mouse was very interested to hear about this secret too. So they began to tell their friends and send information all over the world. Mouse would have tea parties and invite all the neighbours over. Soon everybody was talking about it and wondering why they were all still poor and had to pay lots of money to all sorts of businesses just to survive. Mouse and Dragon thought of a plan.

As they were coming closer to town they noticed a new building with the words “Your Super-H Supermarket” written in large red letters out the front. The building was not there two weeks before when they had last come into town so they decided to go and have a look. It was huge inside. People were everywhere pushing trolleys about full of shopping. Dragon put his glasses on and began reading all the labels of the food on the shelves and started to throw things in the trolley like everybody else. Mouse was looking at the prices and began throwing things out of the trolley as she was sitting in it having a ride. There was everything for sale, from toothpaste to soap, vegetables, fruit and shoe-laces. “We need some flour,” said Mouse wobbling her whiskers. Dragon was attracted to a large fridge area which was selling all sorts of meats.
