Publisher's Summary:

Glodwyn the Gnome is a bit of a rebel. His job is to watch over the ancient woodland, but his good-natured interest in the human world seen through the eyes of his unknowing "friend", Walter the Stacker Truck Driver at the local factory, leads him to interfere in their affairs, with interesting results for all concerned. With his help, the Fairy Folk rescue a little boy from drowning, save the life of an injured cat, and later that of a confused old lady who collapses in the Wood.

A great book

The Magic World of Bracken Lea is a great book that will appeal to both children and grownups alike. It is beautifully illustrated, with every chapter containing an image of one of the characters or events in the story. (The cover of the book shows the main hero of Bracken Lea - Glodwyn the Gnome.)

Every chapter is a story set in the magic world of Bracken Lea Wood, a small forest bordered by the local car park. There are many characters such as fairies, gnomes, and leprechauns, and they interact with humans, even though people are unaware of their presence and can't see them. One of my favorite stories was about the rescue of a Leprechaun who had accidentally traveled from Ireland to England on a lorry. The stories are charming and funny, and will appeal to children as well as adult readers for their subtle humor, beauty, and sense of mystery and magic. The book also shows the importance of preserving the natural habitat, the home of the forest folk, who are portrayed as kind and helpful to the forest, other creatures, and humans.

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!

The Magic World of Bracken Lea Wood

A great collection of short stories, which will capture a child's imagination whether the book is read to them or they read it themselves.The language used by the author will extend the child's vocabulary and ultimately improve the child's writing level at school, so the book and more books to come of this series is not only thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining, but also very educational and literacy progressive for the child. The illustrations are beautiful and real, and kind of 'old world' magical and quite unique. Personally I used to love illustrations when I was still a young gal, and an avid reader of young adult books, andwere simply more thrilling and memorable when there were illustrations attached to the stories. I still love adult books now with illustrations, and would love to see a comeback of that format of book. But that's just me. This book is not just a joy to read for young children, but can also be enjoyed even by the adults doing the reading to their children. The characters are memorable, and all have been given names which are going to be remembered the same way as, to give an example the characters in 'Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarfs', which became household names. It is all about Magic, and Esma's attempt at providing such magical tales has been achieved, and will provide a wonderful bed-time reading adventure.

Good Reading!

Most people donât notice magic even if itâs happening right under their noses.
