Title: Crumbs, Crowns & Catastrophes: Tales from the Hollow Author: Robin Wickens Genre: Cozy Fantasy, Humorous Mystery, Whimsical Fiction Audience: Ages 8-108
Book Description:
Welcome to Tumbledown Hollow-where every teacup might be sentient, every pancake potentially dangerous, and every fairy armed with more curiosity than caution.
In this magical, mischievous anthology, the Fairy Whistle Investigation Squad (FWIS) is on the case. Bramble, Mip, and Nib-three uniquely gifted fairies-solve mysteries ranging from haunted bakeries and rebellious crowns to enchanted libraries that talk back. Their tools? Teamwork, teacups, and the occasional emergency biscuit.
Each of the ten whimsical tales blends mystery, humour, and heart in a beautifully imagined world where even the fog has feelings. Whether it's enchanted cheese tunnels or jellybeans holding court, the Hollow is full of gentle chaos and surprising wisdom.
Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynne Jones, and Eva Ibbotson. Ideal for readers who love magical realism, talking animals, and characters with far too much personality for their own good.
What You'll Find Inside:
10 self-contained stories set in a connected world Fast-paced, dialogue-rich narratives Talking teacups, moody weather, mysterious moustaches, and more A delightful balance of cosy fantasy and clever absurdity A back cover blurb, author's note, epilogue, and teaser for the next book
Praise From Early Readers:
"A perfect cup of tea in book form. Sweet, sharp, and entirely original." "Like reading a magical Monty Python sketch written by a biscuit-loving Tolkien." "Comfort reading for the magically inclined."
