If you opened this book expecting to find a variety of quaint thee and thy-based colloquialisms with the odd "ee-by-gum" and "tha'll be reet" thrown in for good measure, you may be a little disappointed...However, if you picked up this book because you're curious about things for which no words exist, and have a mild interest in random Yorkshire villages with quirky names - then you're in luck!

Beyond The Brambles is the second beautifully presented book from Joe Moorwood and Anna Stephenson. The story, and accompanying imagery, celebrate the magic of nature, as experienced by a young sister and brother on a summer's day adventure. In this heart-warming tale of independence, the two siblings venture beyond the brambles to face whatever their imaginations can muster.

In this beautifully presented children's picture book, a young boy has misgivings when his elderly Grandad moves in. But concern turns to wonder after learning a magical secret. Share their adventure in a heartwarming story of love, loss and the power of imagination.

The Outside is Inside was 'highly commended' by Roger McGough CBE, in The 2020 Caterpillar Poetry Prize. The rhyming story has been brought to life by uniquely eye catching Lino print collage illustrations.
