Jamie and the Tree Troll a new legend of the South Downs in Sussex
ByPublisher Description
There aren't no such things as tree trolls! - said Jamie (7) when his uncle (that's me) said it was tree trolls who'd been stealing food from their backpacks whenever they went for picnics in the ancient woodland surrounding their cold house in Underhill Lane, perched part way up the North slope of the South Downs and a mere foggy walk betwixt Ditchling Beacon and the Jack and Jill windmills in Sussex.
In this tale you will learn what's really beneath the hill in Underhill Lane, some Saxon history concerning a long forgotten battle on Brighton beach, a myth of hidden gold and some real magic too.
