The Wishing Sisters and Other Forest Tales Maggie Holman

What is it that makes trees so inspiring? Is it because they can be ancient, majestic, atmospheric, sinister and beautiful, all at once? In this paranormal short story collection, every story is set in the Forest of Dean, a wonderful landscape in the South West of England, a magical forest which attracts thousands of visitors every year. Find out why a young widow needed help from a mysterious visitor, how a deer culler got his comeuppance, why a young mother ran away to write names on trees, why a little girl used her healing powers and how a ghost child was set free. Each story uses the atmospheric forest landscape like an emotional mirror, where landscape and feelings are intertwined.
