A mysterious man befriends an unwitting visitor in a nighttime wood filled with hidden danger.

The adventures of six talking animals in an enchanted forest called Magic Woods. There's Bunny, a kind-hearted piano player; Doggie, who's not good at anything YET; Girl Monkey, a master engineer; Boy Monkey, a goofy drummer and amateur mycologist; and Myrrh, a strange cantankerous mammal of indeterminate species, who started life as a ghost player in baseball. And then there's Kitty... karate master, rock star, and bona fide hero. Everyone loves Kitty. There's just one problem: a prophecy says that one day she will bring about the end of that world. Is the prophecy true? And does it have anything to do with the diabolical pumpkin who haunts the forest outside their home?

Wealth of information on fifty trees, including their attributes, lore, powers, and seasonal correspondences. Book jacket.

Babes In The Magic Wood has an original storyline, and does not resemble the usual pantomime versions. Widow Crockett and her babes, Simple Simon and Contrary Mary, run a toyshop, their biggest job being the making of toys for Father Christmas's order.
