Nick Mallory's world is much more familiar - at least, it starts off being our own. Presiding over all, the most important person is the Merlin, who is entrusted with the magical health of the Isles of Blest. Not unlike Britain in King Arthur's Day, Roddy is daughter of two Court Wizards and therefore part of the King's Progress, travelling round the Islands of Blest and ready to take part in whatever ritual or ceremony is required, as it occurs. Arianrhod Hyde's world (or Roddy, as she prefers to be called) is very much the world of magic, pageantry and ritual. The story is narrated by two very different teenagers, who each inhabit two extraordinarily different worlds. A glorious new fantasy from an award-winning author.

Of course there are parks all over the country, in all our towns and cities, but I sense something indefinably special about those situated in London. The large English gardens situated in the capital, such as Regents Park and Hyde Park, have such strong personalities that they resonate in my mind as symbols of England just as much as Big Ben and Trafalgar Square. I have always been fascinated by the Royal Parks of London where people can escape from the intensity of the busy streets and lose themselves in another reality, places where the mind has room to breathe and wander freely. I am intrigued by the fact that London has more green space than any other major conurbation in the world. In a city renowned for its chaotic noise and rush, it is surprising how many quiet retreats of tranquillity can be found within the heart of London. One moment I am in a district of bustling activity bursting with colour, crowds and vitality, the next I am led into a scene of restful solitude where it is difficult to believe I’m in the centre of such a boisterous metropolis. One of the joys of walking across London is that sense I have of drifting from one world to another through an endless parade of contrasting wonders. We too have been there we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.” – JM Barrie “On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles.
