a lyrical, beautifully-crafted allegory about our relationship with the environment and our responsibilities for the world around us.

beautifully written and it captures every moment with incredible description. * Scoop Magazine *
Environmental and dystopian themes run through this wondrous story, while the wildness of Farallone and bravery and determination of Tin and Comfrey will surely find a place in every reader's heart. * BookTrust *
I savoured every moment of this glorious book! An epic quest in a beautiful, troubled world that mirrors ours yet is utterly unique - full of its own ancient myths, magic and wisdom. The Wild Folk is both a thrilling tale and song to the natural world, and will resonate deeply with wild, adventurous souls everywhere. I fell in love with so many of the characters; bold and curious Comfrey, thoughtful and inventive Tin, the wise and playful leverets Myrtle and Mallow, and the vast and awesome diversity of the Wild Folk. I am hugely excited to see what the future holds for them all in book two! * Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs *
