The Red Shawl

To Lily, the garden she helped to create is a magical place, one she loves to share with her friend, Megan. One day, without warning, Megan moves away. As a parting gift, she sends Lily a beautiful red shawl knitted by her grandmother.

Lily is lost without her friend – until she hears the barking of a strange dog and goes into the garden to investigate. The familiar hedge has disappeared; so has the garden gate. Now there is a stone wall and a heavy wooden door. When Lily dares to lift the heavy latch and go through the door she finds a new friend and discovers a world far different from her own. She visits her new friend, Effie, and her little dog, Lupin, regularly – and with them she has an adventure she could never have dreamt of. Twice she parts with the red shawl when others have greater need of it, and when she parts with it forever the shawl becomes a symbol of love and friendship that reaches through time.

The Roadside Fairies

The roadside fairies have lived alongside us for many years, living by paths in secret dwellings across the lands before there were major roads and motor vehicles. Their main role was to heal creatures when they became ill or sustained injuries using their magic and potions. Over time, the roadside fairies had to readjust and move their dwellings due to major roads being built and vehicles becoming extremely fast and dangerous. The creatures of the forests needed the roadside fairies help more than ever as more and more where being injured. The roadside fairies, led by Great Elders, had learned to communicate with the creatures who held them in very high esteem. Young fairies called Limes start to rebel against the old ways, wanting to acquire the sacred ‘Book of the Elders’ that contained old dark magic that had not been used for centuries. This book was protected by a Great Elder called Beatri. Clover, a young girl living in a commune in the forest, is drawn into the battle to protect ‘The Book of the Elders’.
