A long way from town, down a long road that shimmers in the summer sun and winds through the parched expanse of the desert, way out across the plains, where grain stalks whisper and roll in the breeze like waves in an immense, bronzed ocean, up into the mountains, way up high where the trees grow so tall they touch the sky, there's a Secret Forest... Give your quiet moments over to The Secret Forest, where you will join mystical travelers and creatures of the wood as they encounter the forest, witness its creative power, and learn if by the fates they will merely visit, or be forever entwined. The Secret Forest is an illustrated compilation of 8 stories written in a flowing, visual style, conceived as bedtime stories for young children, but suitable to enrich the vocabulary and fire the imagination of older children with a passion for reading, a taste for the magical, and an appreciation for the wonders of nature.
