British Wildlife Opens the Path to the Woodland Realm
You don’t need to know anything about the Woodland Realm to enjoy this guide.
Begin simply with the animals: the fox at the woodland edge, the robin in the winter garden, the kingfisher beside still water, the badger beneath old roots and the owl calling after dusk.
If you choose to follow further, these same British creatures lead into the Woodland Realm — my story world of original wildlife art, Guardians, folklore-inspired stories and real Forest of Dean landscapes.
Inside the Realm, each Guardian belongs to a place and each new artwork reveals another fragment of a much wider world.
