Set seventy years before "The Various", the second book in the trilogy follows the adventures of young Celandine at the onset of the First World War. Having run away from her detested boarding school, Celandine is too afraid to go home in case she is sent back. As she seeks shelter in the Wild Wood near her home, little does she think she will encounter in a world where loyalty and independence is fiercely guarded, and where danger lurks in the most unlikely places. Celandine's troubled character finds both refuge and purpose among the secret tribes of little people that she alone believes in. These novels are full of mystery, beauty and adventure; this second novel is both page-turning and life-affirming. This is a truly remarkable trilogy.

Steve Augarde has worked as an illustrator, paper-engineer and semi-pro jazz musician.

Not everything in this world can be understood by us, nor should it be. . .
She reached up to turn the brass door handle of the second-class carriage, and felt that this time she would succeed, that the sunshine train would take her away from all that was hateful and bring her safely home, at last, to her friends.
The year is 1915, Britain is at war, and life for Celandine has become unbearable.
Bullied at boarding school where she is accused of being a witch, and haunted by the loss of her brother, Celandine runs away to a place known only to her: the secret world of the little people.
But her existence among the Various is no less dangerous than the one she has left behind, for the little people are also at war, and Celandine is in the line of fire. . .
Hypnotic, powerful and uplifting, Steve Augard's extraordinary sequel to The Various will take you beyond fantasy to a place where the magical becomes real, and the real becomes magical.
