Hello
everyone! My name’s Beth Stanton and I’m nine years old. I live in the village with my
grandma, grandma Stanton. I don’t remember my parents. They died when I was
very young. My friends in the village are Freddie and Rose. I hate School. They
don’t teach me anything I want to know. I often don’t bother to go and no one
seems to miss me. I like talking and learning stuff from Freddie who looks
after the graves in the church yard. I can recognise all the birds and in my
house I have lots of animals I care for.
I love grandma, but it’s me that takes care of her. I wash, clean and help make
our dinners. No one seems to bother about us so we just bother about ourselves.
Oh! I like singing and I make up songs to sing to Freddie, Rose and the animals
in Littlewich.
My name is
Alice Stanton and I'm Beth's grandmother. There have been Stantons in this village
for centuries, so I am definitely Old Littlewich. Beth was with me when her
parents died in a car crash on a day out. I have looked after Beth since that
tragic day, and do my best to raise her as her parents would have wanted. She
is not the easiest of children, but she is certainly a little character and
keeps the village amused with her antics. Physically, I am not a hundred percent,
but there is nothing wrong with the rest of my faculties.
