A very hefty tome, and not called the Big Red Book for nothing. It is the course book for the Open University's Creative Writing Course (A215) and is packed full of advice, exercises, and readings to demonstrate the learning objectives.

This book is about three sisters that always want everything to be equal. If one daughter gets something, than the other two must get the exact thing. Their mother is very cautious of this and makes sure that everything is equal so that it is fair. They get a triple bunk bed, but none of them can choose who gets the top bunk, so their parents separate the bed so that they are all tall single beds. Their mother counts the amount of sprinkles that they get on their ice cream so that there are no complaints. The three young girls all wanted dogs, but there is only room for one in the house, so they decide to share the puppy amongst eachother and call him "Sprinkles." After each incident of making things exactly equal to them, "It is just not the same" is repeated by the girls. Cloe, Gertrude, and Mirabelle are all happy and satisfied at the end.
