She felt unbearably alone under that vast night sky. The stars seemed cold and distant and unfriendly. This suddenly didn't feel like her world at all. It felt unreal and awry and somehow ... inhuman.
She sat in the grass, one hand resting with spread fingers on top of the poisoned stump.
She felt a pressure like hot needles in her eyes.
She began to cry.
A voice sounded behind her. A female voice. Low and husky.
"Why do you weep, human?" it asked.
Polly Mutter loves nature, and her greatest friend is a beech tree, Fagus sylvatica, which stands all alone on a small hill at the bottom of her garden. She calls it Tree, with a capital T, and she confides all her innermost secrets to it. When Tree is brutally hacked down one stormy night, Polly's suspicions fall on a school bully and her spiteful gang.
Despite setbacks, Polly is desperate to get to the bottom of this act of cruel vandalism, but the truths she discovers on her quest send her far beyond the world of school bullies and into a secret realm where hidden things thrive in a reality stranger than anything she could possibly have imagined.
These discoveries will change her life forever.
From the moment I started reading The Feathered Tree I was hooked. The story sings with a real and ancient magic that will resonate with anyone who has a fascination with folklore and nature and the old, hidden ways. It may be fantasy - but it may be not. It most certainly is a remarkable and joyous piece of storytelling!
Amber J. Carav廩 of Skylark Literary AgencyA beautiful, light story which I really, really enjoyed reading! Allan Frewin Jones is able to captivate the reader in his descriptions of nature.
