How much do they cost?
Teaching Editions:$2.99/£1.75 (includes reader, workbook, audio files, teaching notes & many extras)

Who wrote the text?
Tall Tales feature text & learning resources by leading ELT author Kieran McGovern.

And the fantastic artwork?
Illustrations are by award-winning graphic artist, Trici Venola.

What makes Tall Tales different?
Unlike all other ELT publishers ESOL eBooks allows teachers & parents to download resources via Dropbox or Google Drive files. This means that many of teaching materials can be tailored to individual use. And each purchase allows future access to any new or updated materials for that title.

Why the low prices?
Because no physical book is involved overheads are low. All it takes is an enormous amount of work!

Tall Tales offers high quality educational materials for the tightest budgets.
Can I print the materials?
Yes. Image resolution is set for online reading to deter illegal commercial reproduction. But copies of a reasonable quality can be printed from any computer.

How do I use the audio?
Because embedded audio files often have problems, there are alternative forms of access. You have direct access to the mp3 files but can also play them online.
How do I order/download the books/files?
TinyPay the simplest and most secure online payment system. You will need a PayPal account to use it. If this is a problem, let me know and I'll try and arrange another method of payment.
