About this listen

The breath-taking children's debut from acclaimed nature writer and Costa Award-shortlisted novelist, Melissa Harrison - a tale of the rich, wild world and all its wonder.

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 that 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....

Please read this book if you are in need of the warm and restorative hug only nature can give. Whether you are an adult or child. The addition of nature sounds and delicate music to the beautifully narrated story really took this audiobook to the next level. Wonderful and important story, gorgeous characters. Will now be on the lookout for the little hidden people. Am now going to buy a hardcopy for my library.

Highly recommend this delightful visit to the wild world
