William Forde

Midnight Fighter William Forde

This author's works have been praised by numerous celebrities, the most notable being Nelson Mandella who described two of his African stories as 'Wonderful', the late Princess Diana who used to read two of his books to the Princes William and Harry when they were aged 9 and 7 years, and a former Chief Inspector of Schools for The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OFSTED), who described the author's writing to the press as being of 'High quality literature.' The beauty of life lies not in the physical characteristics of the world's children, but in our indomitable spirit to survive as equals in the environment we inhabit. We are each but a mere part of a more perfect whole, endowed with differing abilities and handicaps. When we live our lives in love, we live it in constant hope. When we live side- by- side harmoniously, we co-exist in peace and understanding. When the Maker made the world, He made the earth and filled it with flowers, trees and animals of all species. Then He made the skies and populated the heavens with birds of the air and all manner of flying insects. He then made His most beautiful creations of all; you. The Maker made this world, filled it with all things beautiful, and then set it spinning on its axis. But it is the love of one person expressed to another that keeps it turning in perfect motion. Love truly makes the world go around. The heroin of this story is 8-year- old Cassey, a girl of indomitable spirit who has cerebral palsy. The story is suitable for any reader aged between 5 and 9 years.
