Description
Reggie On a Sledgie follows Little Pip and her
mischievous kitten, Reggie, as they discover that their winter garden hides a
fantastical secret.
One snowy morning, Reggie darts under the hedge, and when
Pip crawls after him, she finds herself in a magical winter forest glittering
with frost, quiet skies, and snow-speckled trees. Before they can take in the
wonder, chaos bursts through the stillness in the form of a high-speed sledge
driven by a daring old lady named Ruth-famed for her missing tooth-and her
loyal goat, Goose.
Ruth, a decorated former champion of winter sports, is
spirited, swift, and perhaps a bit reckless. She welcomes Pip and Reggie
warmly, offering Pip a coat and to teach them "the ropes" of sledging.
Reggie eagerly hops aboard, but Pip hesitates at the edge of a steep slope. As
she steps away, she doesn't realize the sledge has already started sliding-with
Reggie still on it.
The runaway ride sends Reggie hurtling through the forest,
along snow-thickened paths and past startled woodland creatures, including the
mysterious Googley Eyed Cat. With Reggie losing control and the slope growing
steeper, Ruth and Goose race after him on their own sledge. In a flurry of
snow, speed, and daring teamwork, they manage to rescue the frightened but
exhilarated little cat.
Reunited at last, Pip hugs Reggie tightly, relieved he's
safe. Ruth, impressed by Reggie's newfound steering instincts, encourages Pip
to try again-this time with Reggie confidently leading the way. Mustering her
courage, Pip climbs aboard. With Ruth's countdown and a mighty push, Pip and
Reggie zoom down the slope together, fear melting into delight as they fly
through the winter air.
When the adventure winds down, Pip and Reggie return through
the hedge to their own garden, tired, happy, and ready for tomorrow's new
discoveries.

Olivia Mulligan, or Liv as she is
known, is proud to have been born and bred in North Yorkshire. After spending several years in
London, completing a degree in Drama and Creative Writing, and a short spell
working in the city, she could no longer resist the call of the Yorkshire
Dales.
Liv is a keen cross country runner,
a coffee barista, and now - poet. Her spoken word poem, 'The Lockdown Chat' was
aired at the 2020 BBC Upload Festival in the Writers' Tent. In March 2021 Liv
was invited to be 'Poet Laureate' for a weekly slot on BBC Radio York.
"I have many childhood memories of making up
and performing silly rhymes, songs and stories, even before I started school.
These days I find I am inspired with poetry ideas when I am out running. I
can't jot down the verses until I get home so to help me remember the lines I
keep repeating the words out loud as I huff and puff up and down hills,
I must sound truly insane.
"I love how poetry
encourages rebellion, experimentation, freedom and so much more."
