Books with author Roscoe,

In this third book in the Adventures of Faerie Folk series, Clare must learn how to share or she will never have the pleasure of tasting the apples in her garden, and the Bad Troll must show kindness to the villagers before it is too late. "The world can be a magical place, if we only took the time to truly see it and remember our childhood wonder." (P. J. Roscoe)

Excerpt from The Butterfly's Ball and the Grasshopper's FeastHardly less famous were the three books which next.followed in order Of issue The Peacock at Home, The Elephant's Ball, and The Lion's Masquerade. Their original size was 5 by 4 inches, and they were issued in a simple printed paper wrapper. It is Of these first four books that the reprint is here given, and in order to present both pictures and text with greater effect this reprint has been made upon considerably larger paper; the text and illustrations are fac-simile reproductions of originals from the celebrated Flax man collection recently dispersed at a sale by Messrs Christie, Manson, Woods, when Mr Tuer, to whom I am indebted for their loan, became their fortunate possessor. The Butter fly's Ball is not a reproduction Of the first edition, which, as will be shown later on, would be considered by those who are familiar with the poem as incomplete. Moreover, the illustrations in the edition here presented are Obviously by the same hand as that which embellished the other three books, and it was felt that for these reasons it would possess a greater interest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Menace has ravaged the world for all of written history, plaguing mankind and impossible to kill despite the best of efforts. The story follows Jack, a young man training in magic, and a girl, Fiori, who is haunted by visions of a dying world, on their separate paths to trying to rid the world of Menace once and for all. But not everything is as it seems, as the world slowly begins to rot and magic grows stale.
