Summary
The breathtaking sequel to the stunning By Ash, Oak and Thorn, from acclaimed nature writer and Costa Award-shortlisted novelist Melissa Harrison.
As autumn begins, Moss and friends travel to their former home in Ash Row to find the rare mortal child who can both see and talk to them.
The tiny beings know they should be brave and talk back - this is their chance to help reverse the fading of ancient Cumulus, who has now almost disappeared entirely.
But they soon realise fading is connected to their role in the world.... Can the Hidden Folk prove that guardians of the Wild World are needed after all?
A tale of disappearing wilderness that couldn't be more relevant in today's environmental crisis, brought to life for children by three funny, eternal tiny beings - the hidden folk.

Perfect Children’s Story
This story about little folk and their adventures is adorable. For young at heart and children who still believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden. Filled with adventure

Beautiful!
Absolutely loved it. I was engrossed from the start. I'm sure my grandson would love it as much as I did. Great production and wonderful narrator.

A lovely sequel
I really enjoyed the first installment in this series and the second does not disappoint. The production is still supported by beautiful music and sound effects and the story is delightful. I you want a lovely cosy book to listen to, give this a try!

A lovely sequel that touches on important topics
My girls, age 8 & 10, and I have really enjoyed these stories of the hidden folk. They’ve captured our hearts and imaginations and there have been tears and laughter along the way. This story like the first weaves in important topics of mental health and emotional literacy which have created some good discussions in are home. The story got wrapped up a little abruptly for our liking though. A couple of chapters from the end we felt sure there would be another book to wrap things up as there didn’t seem like enough time to do so, but it ended well and as one would hope even if perhaps a little confusing with some unanswered questions. All in all though, thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend these stories.

A fantastic sequel
I really enjoyed this book as much as the first (By Ash, Oak, and Thorn).
Just like the first the combination of story, narration, music, and the sounds of nature are used to perfection.
It’s the perfect story for children and adults to start noticing the natural world, and to understand relationships with other people.
Though written for children there’s plenty to make an adult think.
The author’s notes at the end are brilliant nature study notes and make a great place to start for ideas on how to engage children with the natural world.
I really hope there will be further adventures with Moss, Burnet, Sorrel, Dormer, and Mistle as they are such lovely characters.

Wonderful
I loved this book, even more than the first one. It warms my heart that this book may help make a new generation of people who love nature and want to look after it. Thank you Melissa Harrison!

A tale about friendship and the practice of wisdom
Beautifully written, and full of adventures, excitement and acts of kindness, among the hidden folk and their friends, a vixen, starling, mouse, and blackbird.
These tales are mesmerizing, and I believe these are the best education for young children, read at school.
It teaches about nature, and how precious that part of our world is.
Far better to come from creating kinship, building small works of restored nature, and take care of it.
The present day Climate Change Report, showing up as a strong indoctrination within the school system, based on wrong conclusions, feeding only anxiety, is an example of weaponizing of guilt, killing individual initiative, ignoring the inspiration in children, found in the natural world coming from joy and reverence, not in the least the individual motivation that stems from a sense of wonder and sovereignty.

Delightful
Another lovely story, beautifully narrated, with great soundtrack, music, birdsongs, sound effects and so on, really love the examples of how to help and support each other with kindness and understanding, and respect others. I could live in this world very easily. Really lovely story for all ages, I'm 62 and will definitely be listening again.

Thoroughly enjoyable!
A great book to get important messages across to kids. The importance of talking and not holding stuff in. I really enjoyed this and book 1 and will be buying them for my grandsons.
