Three tiny, ancient beings - Moss, Burnet and Cumulus, once revered
as Guardians of the Wild World - wake from winter hibernation
in their beloved ash tree home.


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
...





The breathtaking children's debut from acclaimed nature

Inspired by 1942 classic The Little Grey Men

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