Each story is accompanied by a full-page illustration, and the book includes 22 enchanting illustrations in total, bringing the characters and world of The Glen to life in full colour and charm. Between the stories, Mouse-wise, warm, and ever-chatty-welcomes you in with gentle interludes that feel like a fireside chat with an old friend.

In The Glen, the tea never runs out, the frost leaves secret patterns on the windows, and someone is always ready with a tale to soothe your soul.

You’ll meet Rabbit-steady and kind, with his hooded cloak and quiet courage. You’ll sit beside Mouse, who always knows just the right story to tell. You’ll hear the ancient voices of the Frosty Council, witness the first ever sunrise, and walk with the mysterious Heart of The Glen, who carries the peace of the land in her hands.

These are stories of comfort and wonder-tales to be read by candlelight, shared at bedtime, or carried in your heart like a charm against the cold.
