In By Rowan and Yew, Moss and the Hidden Folk return to Ash Row to find a rare child, hoping to prove the Wild World needs guardians.

As autumn sets in, Moss and the Hidden Folk embark on a journey back to their former home in Ash Row. Their mission is to find a rare mortal child who possesses the unique ability to see and communicate with them. This quest is not just about companionship; it’s a crucial endeavor to demonstrate that the Wild World still requires guardians. By Rowan and Yew unfolds in a landscape filled with both danger and delight, as the friends navigate through golden leaves, shiny conkers, and the vibrant hues of berries, all while bracing for the impending storms and frost of winter.

The narrative explores the themes of friendship, courage, and the necessity of environmental stewardship. Moss, Sorrel, Burnet, and Dormer, though only a hand high, rely on their wit and humor to tackle the challenges that lie ahead. However, they soon realize that their quest might require collaboration with the most unpredictable of beings—humans. Will their bond and ingenuity be enough to secure a future for the Hidden Folk, or will they need to forge new alliances?

By Rowan and Yew is not only a captivating tale of adventure but also a poignant reflection on the disappearing wilderness, making it especially relevant in today’s environmental climate. Melissa Harrison, an acclaimed nature writer, brings this enchanting story to life, inspired by the classic The Little Grey Men. This sequel promises to delight readers with its blend of magic and ecological awareness.
