PIERS TORDAY
As autumn arrives, Moss, Sorrel, Burnet and Dormer decide to return
home to Ash Row to unravel a riddle that might explain why
their kind are fading from the Wild World.
When you're only one-hand high, it's a journey filled with both
danger and delight: golden leaves, shiny conkers and the brightest
of berries, but also storms and the first frost of winter.
They have friendship, good sense and humour on their side, but
will it be enough to secure a future for the Hidden Folk? Or will
they need to go further, and find a way to work with the most unreliable
of creatures ... humans?
A tale of disappearing
wilderness that couldn't be more relevant in today's
environmental crisis, brought to life for children by three tiny,
funny, eternal beings - the hidden folk.
