“Each of these beautifully written, delightful, and uplifting tales is an invitation to step into another world, alive with the magic of fairy-tale. Multi-layered and intriguing…filled with our reciprocal relationship with Nature…They are a reminder of our deeper connections with Nature and the cycles of the year.”
Glennie Kindred, artist and author of Sacred Earth Celebrations and Walking With Trees
Shaped by folk traditions from across the British Isles and the seasonal ‘Wheel of the Year’ these stories bring to life the Equinoxes, Solstices and ‘Celtic Fire Festivals’ with characters both human and more-than.
Weaving the elegance of fairytales with fresh ideas that defy gender-roles and stereotypes, Tomlin’s tales are perfect to read aloud with children and friends, or to enjoy alone; immersing your in the flow of the seasonal year.
Perfect for wild hearts and nature lovers, pagan families, and those embracing a nature-based spirituality. These stories connect you to the ancient cycle of the seasons, as experienced in the Northern Hemisphere. They encourage you to take notice and to explore how you, wild human, might cycle with them.

This book is incredible! Each story evokes a sense of the season in which it is set. They have a folk tale feel but are completely originally and utterly compelling. Keli’s use of language is lyrical and evocative. I have read some of the stories aloud to my 5 year old who enjoys them and also read some to myself curled up on the sofa. There are layers to the stories which means that adults may see aspects in then that children do not. I look forward to noticing new details as I read and reread these stories. This is definitely a book to keep close by and reach for again and again.
