will they need to go further, and find a way to work with the most
unreliable of creatures ... humans? A tale of disappearing
wilderness that couldn't be more relevant in today's environmental
crisis, brought to life for children by three tiny, funny, eternal
beings - the hidden folk. From acclaimed nature writer and literary
