Wheel on the Hayle                           Page 2
A humorous family adventure that includes children

There really was a wheel,
not very powerful at first,
here seen turning quite slowly,
the spray was much better later on - but will it last?

More to the point - will it
produce any electricity
or are they to live by
candlelight forever?

Review by Joyce Channon (no relation) Chief Reporter of the Cornishman.
Local author, Gordon Channer's first two books - Village by the Ford and House by the Stream - were both so successful that they were reprinted. Which says an awful lot about the man who wrote them. His undoubted knack of telling a good story in an unassuming, unaffected and yet compelling way, coupled with his very readable writing style, puts this author at the top of my reading 'wants' list. What is it that makes his books so likeable? Well, for starters they are about real people, real places and real events. And enduring family love. The same folk are in all three. You get to know them. To like them and to almost wish you could count them among your friends. That's all down to Gordon's special tale-telling gifts.  Violence, complicated relationships and crime have no part to play, which is refreshing in itself.    That is not to say that 'Wheel on the Hayle', Gordon's third in the Valley of Dreams series, is without its drama - and some danger.    And there is plenty of humour too, and as this family's tale continues to unfold, it is impossible for the reader not to actually feel part of them, their life, and their adventures.  And there's more.  The cliffhanger of an ending begs it. Happily it is on its way. Gordon's fourth book will be entitled 'A Buzzard To Lunch'. I shall look forward to that one too.           THE  CORNISHMAN.

...weaves his magic...  as near as Cornwall can get to Walton's Mountain. Wonderful.

That fish came from the Hayle?

Yes - honest!
Would I tell a lie?

Just remember, these pictures are the quieter moments, not the main story.
