Dave and Phil were discussing the plans for the back garden when Scruffy came running around the corner towards them, tripping over a small rock. He fell sprawling onto the ground in front of them.
“What’s up, what are you doing?” asked Phil.
“It’s that shed, there’s sumit in there,” spluttered Scruffy as he picked himself up off the ground.
“What do you mean, there’s something in there?” asked Phil.
“That shed, there’s sumit in there! I went to put the tools in and sumit barked and jumped at the door. Probably that’s what knocked me over with the door,” continued Scruffy, very animated.
“You’re saying my shed attacked you,” laughed Dave.
“That shed’s the same as your head, nothing in it,” said Phil, tapping on his own head. Phil turned to Dave. “He’s a good lad and a hard worker, but boy, is he clumsy, he can trip over his own shadow.”
“Well, I’m not going near it again,” declared Scruffy, pointing towards the back of the house.
Our long-time friend of the magazine, Glyn Davies, has done it again - delivering another charming read to add to his growing collection. After enjoying Grumps, I couldn’t wait to dive into Alf’s Shed, and I’m happy to say it was every bit as delightful as I hoped
Kay and their curious 13-year-old son Robin, he sets about modernising the old place. But while most families might find a few dusty antiques or a creaky floorboard, Robin stumbles across something far more extraordinary - an overgrown corner of the garden hides a tiny, weather-worn blue shed that looks like an old sentry box.
Naturally, Robin is quick to claim it as his own workshop. What he doesn’t realise, though, is that this shed is far from ordinary. Behind its unassuming door lies a magical secret, one only Robin has the gift to unlock.
As the family navigates renovations and the colourful characters who come to help, the mysterious shed weaves itself into their lives in ways both heartwarming and surprising.
Glyn has a knack for combining everyday family life with just the right sprinkle of magic, making Alf’s Shed a wonderfully engaging tale. If you enjoy the quirky humour and imaginative adventures found in David Walliams’ books, then you’ll absolutely love this story.
