This huge international bestseller, fully revised for non-American readers, is now in ebook.

It is unsentimental, rigorous and utterly original. 'A cri de coeur for our children' Guardian Camping in the garden, riding bikes through the woods, climbing trees, collecting bugs, picking wildflowers, running through piles of autumn leaves... These are the things childhood memories are made of. But for a whole generation of today's children the pleasures of a free-range childhood are missing, and their indoor habits contribute to epidemic obesity, attention-deficit disorder, isolation and childhood depression. This timely book shows how our children have become increasingly alienated and distanced from nature, why this matters and how we can make a difference. Last Child in the Woods is a clarion call, brilliantly written, compelling and irresistibly persuasive - a book that will change minds and lives.
Daughter of the Forest
Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

The Green Forest Fairy Book
In 'The Green Forest Fairy Book,' Loretta Ellen Brady delves into the realm of the fantastical with a treasury of 11 unique fairy tales, each populated by magical and enchanted creatures hitherto unencountered in literary tradition. Composed in 1920, her craft summons a refreshingly original suite of narratives, eschewing retellings to cast a constellation of new myths into the arcana of children's literature. These stories, with their fresh characters and engaging plots, are inscribed with an unmistakable literary style that conjures up an atmosphere both familiar and undiscovered, distinguished by its early twentieth-century American vernacular, a milestone in the unfolding tapestry of fairy tale lore. Loretta Ellen Brady, an American bard of the whimsical and wondrous, is recognized predominantly for this resplendent fabric of fables. Writing during a period where fairy tales were undergoing a resurgence of interest and when American authors sought to contribute to a genre historically dominated by European voices, Brady's work provides a significant American fingerprint on the literary treasure map of fairy tales. 'The Green Forest Fairy Book' stands as her lasting contribution, showcasing her capacity for imagination and her prowess in story-weaving. Imbued with both whimsy and depth, 'The Green Forest Fairy Book' is an indispensable addition to the library of any enthusiast of fantasy and classic children's storytelling. It is especially recommended for readers eager to venture beyond the beaten path of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. With Brady's prose, one can expect to be ushered into an untrodden thicket of lore, a literary exploration that is as enriching for its novelty as it is for its timeless charm and instructional value in the virtues of courage, kindness, and wit.
