An air of mystery surrounds Hoarfrost, the hermit of Witchwater Tarn. The inhabitants of Witchwater Wood are wary of him and fail to understand his constant search for knowledge. In their fear and distrust, they betray him, yet in the end, when their need is greatest, it is he who saves them - but at what cost to himself? Told through the eyes of a group of woodland creatures and set in an earlier century, Witchwater Tarn is an inspiring and thought-provoking story for younger readers. Its beautiful illustrations complement this tale of strong relationships and moral dilemmas, of courage and kindness, and of deceit and forgiveness. This wonderfully descriptive story is brought to life with both lovely illustrations and rich language. The ideas expressed communicate a sense of moral integrity, providing valuable support for parents and educators as they help children grow and develop. This story offers reassurance and comfort to all who face the difficulty of choosing between good and evil.
