Title: Crumbs, Crowns & Catastrophes: Tales from the Hollow
Author: Robin Wickens
Genre: Cozy Fantasy, Humorous Mystery, Whimsical Fiction
Audience: Ages 8–108
Book Description:
Welcome to Tumbledown Hollow—where every teacup might be sentient, every pancake potentially dangerous, and every fairy armed with more curiosity than caution.
In this magical, mischievous anthology, the Fairy Whistle Investigation Squad (FWIS) is on the case. Bramble, Mip, and Nib—three uniquely gifted fairies—solve mysteries ranging from haunted bakeries and rebellious crowns to enchanted libraries that talk back. Their tools? Teamwork, teacups, and the occasional emergency biscuit.
Each of the ten whimsical tales blends mystery, humour, and heart in a beautifully imagined world where even the fog has feelings. Whether it's enchanted cheese tunnels or jellybeans holding court, the Hollow is full of gentle chaos and surprising wisdom.
Perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynne Jones, and Eva Ibbotson. Ideal for readers who love magical realism, talking animals, and characters with far too much personality for their own good.
What You'll Find Inside:
Praise From Early Readers:
