Eric the Snail and the Thing in the Trees

£22.50

Eric the Snail and Wally the Worm are spending a night in Kettlewell Forest when Wally asks for a frightening story, and the forest is happy to oblige.

Something is moving out there in the dark, circling the camp, watching with pale still eyes. But fear, as Eric knows, has a habit of arriving well before the facts.

These stories began as tales told by Trevor H. Field to his son and daughter. Three decades later, Eric the Snail and his friends are ready to be shared once more.

A picture book, 21cm square, as a softback or a hardback.

Please note: for now these books are printed on demand, one at a time, which is why the price is higher than we would like. Once we can afford a full print run, the prices will come down.
