Return to Ash Row – The Hidden Folk Continue Their Journey
A beautifully crafted autumn adventure for readers aged 9+.
As the first crisp days of autumn settle in, Moss, Sorrel, Burnet and Dormer make the brave decision to return to Ash Row — the place they once called home. A mysterious riddle hints at why the Hidden Folk are quietly disappearing from the Wild World, and the friends are determined to uncover the truth.
But when you’re only one-hand high, the journey is full of both wonder and peril. Golden leaves, glowing berries and shiny conkers brighten their path, while sudden storms, hungry predators and the first frost test their courage. With friendship and quick thinking, the four small travellers press on… but the answers they seek may lie in an unexpected alliance, with the most unpredictable creatures of all: humans.
A heartfelt, atmospheric story that deepens the world of the Hidden Folk and celebrates resilience, nature, and the power of unlikely friendships.
