BOOKS
Written for 7-10 year olds but suitable for all, this is the first thrilling instalment in the Wizard of Oswestry series.
It’s the summer holidays and having just moved to the sleepy town of Oswestry, Vee isn’t expecting anything exciting to happen. But when she wakes up one morning to find that no one else has, she realises that she’s in for a very big adventure indeed …
Thrown into an age-old battle between good and evil, Vee must find the cunning and strength she needs to save not just herself, but the whole of Oswestry.
Luckily, she won’t be alone in her quest! Because there is a certain someone on hand to help, a mysterious individual who lives in a disappearing house and has more than a little magic up her sleeve … the Wizard of Oswestry!
A collection of delightful tales following the various adventures of Mr Prickle-back.
A good-souled (if sometimes grumpy) hedgehog living deep in the Everbright Forest, Mr Prickle-back was created by Florence Dugdale, who went on to become the wife of the renowned Wessex poet and novelist, Thomas Hardy.
Within these stories, Mr Prickle-back’s world is fleshed out with new doings, happenings and meetings with a cast of colourful woodland characters.
Told with wry humour and simple charm, The New Adventures of Mr Prickle-back is a pocket-sized piece of escapism, written as whimsical tales for whimsical adults, or younger confident readers in search of amusement.
So leave the dirty bustle of the modern world behind, and join us in fiction, in adventure and amusement, safe within the shelter and the warm woodland embrace of the living Everbright Forest.
