    Three tiny, ancient beings - Moss, Burnet and Cumulus, once revered
    as Guardians of the Wild World - wake from winter hibernation

    When it is destroyed, they set off on an adventure to find more
    of their kind, a journey which takes them first into the deep countryside
    and then the heart of a city.


    Helped along the way by birds and animals, the trio search for
    a way to survive and thrive in a precious yet disappearing world
    ...

    writer and literary fiction novelist, Melissa Harrison, author
    of All Among the Barley and At Hawthorn Time:

    relevant in today's environmental crisis, brought to life for
    children by three tiny, funny, eternal beings - the hidden folk.
