Description

Age range 10+ In the Beech Forest is a story from long ago, from now and from the future. An ordinary boy takes a path leading him from the safety of his home into a dark forest. His head is full of the fearful images of his computer games that so excite yet terrify him; battles between heroes and dreadful beasts that may haunt this primal landscape. What will become of him on this journey? Will he survive? Will he defeat his fears? Will he emerge, still an ordinary boy? Become his companion. Take the journey... Teachers notes available here
