Publisher's Synopsis

Why does an author set their story where and when they do? How do you describe places and make them real for your reader? Why might you build contrast between multiple settings in your story? In this useful little book, educator Amy Jones describes the various options available to writers for setting their stories in space and time, and outlines the tried and tested literary tricks which authors use to paint these places so vividly in the imagination of their readers.

About the Publisher

Wooden Books

Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books based on the philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings, the books were designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information. Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over 1,000,000 Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing, as readers from Canada to Korea, Greece to Spain, Japan to the Czech Republic all fall under the unique spell of this innovative series.
