MUSIC and children's tales may appear to be a strange combination but composer and writer Matthew Jameson has created Bush Tales, a beautiful series of books that that have an accompanying music score to go with each tale.
Every starving writer dreams of creating a page-turner their audiences will be hungry for. But that elusive bestseller list can often seem like a long-distant dream, with so many aspiring novelists seeing the fruits of their labours sink without trace. Not so for storyteller Matt Jameson, whose dream of retiring to the country to pen children's tales has more than paid off.
It's almost a cliche - advertising executive retires to the countryside to write children's book - and there are plenty of stories like it at villages across mid-Somerset. Often the result is a 12-page home-published book that sinks without trace. But for Matt Jameson of Leigh-On-Mendip, the sights have been set considerably higher.
