Bramble Fox cover

This captivating tale follows Portia and Ben as they discover a mysterious door leading to the Otherworld, filled with magic and danger. Bramble Fox explores themes of adventure and friendship.

On a summer holiday in Wales, Portia and Ben stumble upon a mysterious door nestled in a bramble hedge within a dense forest. This door is a portal to the Otherworld, a place filled with both wonders and dangers that should never be opened. However, how could the children know this? The tales of the Otherworld's enchantments and perils have faded into obscurity, leaving them unaware of the risks they are about to take. As curiosity piques, they find themselves drawn to the secrets that lie beyond the door.

For Robin Goodfellow, the enigmatic man with a fox shadow, Portia and Ben represent his last opportunity to unlock the portal and return to his home. Yet, for everyone else, this door signifies a threat that could unleash chaos. The narrative unfolds as the children grapple with their choices, caught between the allure of the Otherworld and the dire consequences of their actions. Bramble Fox weaves an intricate tapestry of British myths and legends, inviting young readers to explore a realm where reality and fantasy intertwine.

As Portia and Ben navigate this thrilling adventure, they encounter magical creatures and face challenges that test their courage and friendship. The stakes grow higher as they realize the true nature of the Otherworld and the responsibilities that come with their discovery. Bramble Fox is not just a tale of adventure; it is a journey of self-discovery and the importance of understanding the past to protect the future.
