The Timblemoon Stories
Book 01 · Lantern Night
Pip's Small Light
On the last night of October the wind steals the Great Lantern and the whole hill goes dark — until the smallest flame in Timblemoon lifts itself as high as it can.
Book 02 · First Snow
Soot Bakes It All
Soot's fire climbs too high, the dough won't rise and the feast is ruined. Then Plum calls down the hill, and one by one the village arrives with something to share.
Book 03 · Christmas in Timblemoon
What Bram Gave Away
Snow on the lanes, bells on the lanterns, and one red sled at the top of the hill — until Bram decides that the best gift in Timblemoon is the one he hands to somebody else.
Special edition · Autumn fair
Timblemoon's Hollow Fair — Special Edition
Follow the lanterns up the hill for a night of fairground magic, toffee apples, and friends gathered together.
