The Magical Midwinter Star - Tales from the Adventures of Algy Jenny Chapman

A magical winter's tale, starring Algy, the most unusual and charming fluffy bird you could ever hope to meet!

In the chilly gloom of his first northern winter, Algy finds it hard to stay cheerful... until he discovers some mysterious objects in the rock pools and hears about a midwinter celebration which used to take place long ago, by the light of a magical star.

Algy has to face the real dangers of the harsh Highland winter, but he is determined to bring light and joy back to the darkness, and with the help of his delightful old friends, and some very funny new ones, the story reaches a magically happy conclusion.

A perfect winter bedtime story with beautiful illustrations at the head of each chapter, featuring a cast of fascinating and funny animal and bird characters drawn from the real wildlife of the area, and set in the stunning scenery of the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
