Story title	Information
Legs Of Thunder This is a well constructed myth - simple and direct. It follows the tradition of explaining the human condition and contains a character, often found in myths, who is pitting himself against the gods creating not only his own downfall but that of his fellow humans. It has been carefully written - well done.	Name: scotster Submitted: 21st June 2011
The Volcano Dragon A very well thought through story. A warm hearted hero 'monster' (with a lot of aaah factor) who, it looks like, won't be able to receive his reward. Clear, well written, lots of description and good pictures. Well done.	Name: ros7 Submitted: 05th February 2011

The lonely farmer. This is an enjoyable story in true 'fairy story' tradition (although no fairies are involved) of rags to riches and true love across the 'social divide'. The story is simply and clearly written and illustrated.	Name: ellass Submitted: 25th November 2009
A Knight's Tale A sort of traditional quest with sound effects and a touch of gentle humour. The story has been well thought out and carried through to a satisfying ending.	Name: JessicaT17 Submitted: 10th November 2009
The mystery of the moon, by Alani Emery This story shows really well how you can use your own drawings creatively for illustration. For example, the author has shown only part of her picture in some of the screens, because just that part was needed to illustrate that page of the story. She has also made good use of material available in the E2BN Gallery for other scenes - all carefully chosen. Additionally, the story is well thought out and care has been taken with the spelling and punctuation. Well done!	Name: Alaeme Submitted: 09th November 2009

King Midas and the Golden Touch An old Greek legend well retold in a pleasant chatty, manner making use of the Story Creator graphics to illustrate.	Name: Rawk Hawk Submitted: 26th June 2008
The Highwayman This story is a straightforward example of how the Story Creator can be used to retell a well known tale, in your own words and pictures - in this case the inspiration has been a poem which is a great favourite with many people.	Name: mayhemgirl Submitted: 21st February 2008
