Trying to think about my story. Kristin Baybars' toy shop is fascinating but to make it interesting and imaginative for my adventurous readers (make a psychographic/demographic audience), I would have to write a story about it that might not be true.
This story also feels quite far away from me (London, I'M A NORTHERNER! I could go and visit it but it's really not something that is close to my home/life) and a bit unoriginal... toy shops are really overdone in children's books even though I find them magical and exciting I think I could imagine something a bit more unusual...
What is it that I enjoyed reading/watching as a child?
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Wizard of Oz
Moomin Stories
Bagpuss
Alice in Wonderland
The Enchanted Wood/Faraway Tree
The Never-Ending Story
Labyrinth
Where The Wild Things Are
The Secret Garden
Pippi Longstocking
Most of these stories involve going on some kind of adventure to a magical world.
