The Forest yet to Come

Written by Sam Thompson, Published by Little Island Books 2024

The Forest is endless and filled with savage wolves. The human settlement stays safe inside its walls — but two children, Sally and Faolan, long to know what lies beyond. One day a stranger arrives. His name is Reynard: trickster, storyteller, secret-keeper. He can show the children the way through the Forest, but the journey will be more dangerous than they imagine. There are worse things in the world than wolves, and the fox has one final trick to play.
