Set in 21st century London, this classic portal fantasy moves between the world as we know it and a more mythic landscape. A songwriter, a teacher, a botanist, an artistic child and a well-meaning blunderer find themselves dealing with a very powerful adversary. Anne Lister's first novel weaves folklore and legend into the story, and demonstrates her fine-tuned storytelling skills. Anne is of course best known as a songwriter and singer, and a storyteller, and fans of her work will be delighted to read this tale.
