🌳 🌫️ 🦌 #ThisThatAndTheOther #WebNovel Chapter 21 published today “...when a lesson needs to be learnt, a suitable teacher will present itself ... It could be an experience, an observation… found in the natural world around you… ” 🌫️ threerealms.substack.com 📗 #booksky #fantasy #folklore #books 🐉

promotional image with text: THIS REALM, WHEREIN MAGIC YET FLOWS: Chapter Twenty-One: FAUNA'S GIFT: This, That, and the Other - epic fantasy adventure web novel - THREEREALMS.SUBSTACK.COM - the background is a detail from a sketch by Remy Dean suggesting overlapping oak leafs

photograph of the back cover of the 1st edition of the paperback book published by The Red Sparrow Press with a sketch by Remy Dean of the 'Green Man' and text reads: Rietta and Carla have stepped into another realm. Now they are lost in a wonderful world of natural beauty, magical wonder and very real peril. They find reluctant allies among the spirits of the great Greenwood, before setting out to find Dreamers Dell in the hope of fulfilling their promise to help the Fair Ones. Along the way, they meet a mechanician, with his amazing mechanical animals, and fall-in with a band of Elfyn warriors.
When they are introduced to a mysterious and sinister mumblebone, they soon realise that things are getting much more dangerous than they ever expected. Though, as the girls discover more of This extraordinary realm, they also discover that they, themselves, may be even more extraordinary... ISBN 9781078060431
