Set seventy years before "The Various", the second book in the trilogy follows the adventures of young Celandine at the onset of the First World War. Having run away from her detested boarding school, Celandine is too afraid to go home in case she is sent back. As she seeks shelter in the Wild Wood near her home, little does she think she will encounter in a world where loyalty and independence is fiercely guarded, and where danger lurks in the most unlikely places. Celandine's troubled character finds both refuge and purpose among the secret tribes of little people that she alone believes in. These novels are full of mystery, beauty and adventure; this second novel is both page-turning and life-affirming. This is a truly remarkable trilogy.

Steve Augarde was born in Birmingham, but spent most of his life in the West Country, working as an illustrator, paper-engineer, and semi-pro jazz musician. He has written and illustrated over 70 picture-books for younger children, and has produced the paper-engineering for many pop-up books, including those by other artists - as well as providing the artwork and music for two animated BBC television series. Steve is married with two daughters and lives in Yorkshire.
Not everything in this world can be understood by us, nor should it be . . .
The year is 1915, Britain is at war, and life for Celandine has become unbearable. Bullied at boarding school and haunted by the loss of her brother, Celandine runs away to a place known only to her: the secret world of the little people.
But her existence among the Various is no less dangerous than the one she left behind, for the little people are also at war, and Celandine is in the line of fire . . .
Hypnotic and uplifting, Steve Augarde's extraordinary sequel to The Various will take you to a place where the magical becomes real, and the real becomes magical.
