One Trail, Many Tales
A storybook of quiet magic, kind hearts, and the little lessons that lead us home.
In this lovingly anticipated fourth book of the internationally award-winning Away with the Fairies series, readers young and old are invited on seven enchanting adventures steeped in Irish charm and timeless wonder.
Meet new friends like Pakil the industrious fox, Fairy Amoria and her travelling companion Sandaar (a rare black-and-white raven) newcomers from a distant land in search of a place to call home. You’ll also meet Niktac, a young Fayla tree just beginning to understand the world and his place in it. Familiar faces return too, including beloved Nash The Dash, with his curious turns of phrase and quirky yet profound words of wisdom.
From snowstorms and clever solutions to harvest feasts and a mouse wedding, these tales offer a comforting escape where community, courage, and humour shine through every season.
Perfect for fans of Brambly Hedge and Beatrix Potter. Mary Murphy’s lyrical storytelling nurtures children’s curiosity and imagination, drawing them into a rich and engaging experience where new vocabulary grows naturally through story. This read-aloud-friendly chapter book is a timeless treasure for families, educators, and caregivers alike.
