1939. When Hamish Beasly is evacuated to the quiet countryside village of Brombury he is taken in by Mrs Platts and her daughter Penny. At first Penny is far from happy with her new house guest, but after she and Hamish discover and befriend the Briarmen, four fantastical creatures living in the forbidden Woods Beyond The Railway, they are bound together through a shared secret. Then comes the Blitz, and with it rumours of a German plane crashing into the woods. This sparks concern from the village and puts Hamish and Penny's secret at risk, a secret they soon find out is no longer their own...¿'A classic... filled with magic and escapism' lovereading.co.uk

I had a wonderful time reading this! Although set during WWII, the story felt surprisingly light and whimsical. Experiencing it through the eyes of young protagonists added a unique perspective, and I loved the author’s playful, charming writing style. The Briarmen were fascinating – especially Bunkle, who quickly became a favourite! I only wish we’d learned more about them. While the middle felt a little slow, the ending brought everything together beautifully. A magical and emotionally rich story overall!
