About this item
by Melanie Leavey (Author)
"It's not all sparkle dust and lemon buns."
It's summer at Rookery Cottage, Hazel's first as Caretaker of the Otherworld portal that sits at the bottom of her garden. After an adventure-filled spring, all she wants now is to settle into village life enjoying the enchanted summer weather, tending her garden and writing her books.
But then rumours of faery kidnappings and inexplicable delays in acquiring building permits for Roger's dream B & B suggest that the troublesome forces from Deep Faerie haven't faded quietly into the background as Hazel had hoped. As the responsibilities begin to pile up, she discovers there's a lot more required of her as Caretaker than keeping the portal open, none of which she feels equipped to handle. Even her garden, the one place she finds peace and solace, careens out of her control with the gifts of magical abundance coming from NetherWinkle.
Her worlds collide as endless meetings for the village summer fête, non-stop faery traffic through her garden shed and increasing struggles navigating new - and old - relationships overwhelm her. Hazel begins to doubt her ability to cope with the demands of her new role, despite the assurances of her friends.
When a dangerous faery threatens the safety of one of her young friends and the very magic that binds the two worlds together appears to be unraveling, can Hazel overcome her own fears and self-doubt to be the Caretaker everyone believes her to be?
Return to Rookery Cottage and follow Hazel and her friends in this cosy, comfort fantasy full of quiet enchantment, whimsical characters, found family and just a hint of second-chance romance.
Hedge Folkis the second in the Tales of Winkle Village series.
