In the little village of Honeyville was an old music factory. Many years ago, craftsmen worked in the factory making all kinds of musical instruments. Each day the village would be filled with the sound of men singing as they worked. Often they could be heard playing the new instruments before they were packed away and sent to be sold.
The Music Factory was a very happy place then, but as the years went by the building became too old for the men to continue their trade. The roof leaked and the paint peeled from the walls and woodwork. Draughts blew through the doors and windows until eventually the men packed up their belongings and moved on.
When they had gone the old music factory fell silent. Dust began to settle on the benches that the men had worked on, covering tools and paint brushes that had been left behind. Old musical instruments lay scattered on the floor. Some were damaged or unfinished whilst others had simply been forgotten. Everything in the factory lay untouched for many years until one day the village of Honeyville was awakened by a terrible storm. The thunder roared, the lightening flashed, the wind howled and the rain gushed heavily from the sky.

The old factory walls shook with the rage of the storm. Slates were ripped from the roof leaving huge holes for the rain to pour inside. The wind whistled through the windows and doors, lifting the thick dust in swirls across the factory floor. For two whole days and nights the storm continued but on the third day, the sun shone brightly and a huge rainbow appeared, illuminating the blue and grey sky.
Gradually the village of Honeyville became calm again. Only the little rivers of rainwater remained as a reminder of the raging storm. That is, of course, except for the beautiful rainbow that arched high into the sky and then sloped down gently to rest right on the roof of the music factory.

Now inside the factory a very strange thing was happening. An old double bass lay propped against the wall basking in the warm sunshine. In the roof above him was a huge hole where the slates had been blown away. As the rain leaked inside it began to wash away the thick layers of dust. Gradually the dust began to disappear and the raindrops began to dry in the sun. The old double bass started to shine as he had done many years before when he had first been made. Very gently the rainbow’s end touched him as he lay in the sun making him sparkle brightly with all its beautiful colors. High in the sky, the grey clouds were blown away by a soft breeze and the rainbow slowly began to fade. The sun grew strong and hot drying the rainwater rivers and warming the air.

Inside the music factory the double bass felt the glow of the sunlight. Very slowly he gave a big yawn, rubbed his eyes and got to his feet.
His legs were very stiff and creaked loudly as he stood.
“Ouch,” he muttered, rubbing his aching limbs. “I must have been here a very long time. I’m as stiff as a board.”
He looked all around him seeing for the first time the soaking wet floor, the dusty work benches and the leaking roof.
The doors and windows hung loosely on their rusty hinges, creaking in the warm breeze.
“My, oh my, what a mess,” he sighed shaking his head.
He rubbed again at his aching limbs then very carefully plucked at his strings.
“Twang, twang, twang!”
“I say,” he grinned happily. “I do sound grand. Twang, twang, twang!”

5,0 su 5 stelle Very endearing story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 maggio 2013
Acquisto verificato
The Old Music Factory by Elizabeth Hartley is the first book in the Old Music Factory series. The story takes place in the small village of Honeyville, in a rundown music factory. Young readers will be swept up in the fairytale feel of the book. It is a light, fun story, and even includes a few cute pictures, sure to spark the imagination of the reader as the instruments come alive. This is a story children will love to read over and over.

It takes place in a quaint village that once thrived, but now after years of neglect, the music factory has been closed and forgotten. After a freak storm and rainbow, a reawakening occurs. The instruments speak and help each other to restore their home to its former glory. The dialogue is cute and includes the instrument sounds. They work together and eventually put on a grand concert. It is a very sweet book.

A brief introduction brings you into Honeyville, a small town with an abandoned instrument factory. One day it rains, and the instruments are woken up, presumably by the magic of the rainbow. They proceed to gather, clean, and tune-up, preparing themselves for the big concert.

This short story is an effective way of introducing children to the world of musical instruments. Were it to become a children's TV show, I can easily hear the lilting voice of the bass, and the booming tenor of the drum. As in many children's books, this one seems to have multiple hidden, yet positive, messages using phrases such as "I do hate to be dirty," and the idea of sharing the workload. The Old Music Factory: Book One appears to be the first of a forthcoming series by Hartley, hopefully continuing the musical journeys of some of these characters.

A bright book, this story will pique your child's musical curiosity. Good for any age.
