The Woodsman by Stephanie Varah
The Woodsman is the story of Amos, Keeper of the Forest for King Charles the First, who by some strange alchemy finds himself shockingly stranded in the 21st century. Whether he can return to his own time four hundred ago, largely depends on the ingenuity and resourcefulness of three furry heroes; a free-spirited hound, a food-obsessed cat and his very bossy, opinionated sister. The friends set out to find a window through time and send Amos back 400 years to his own time amidst the English Civil War, often with hilarious consequences. Their trials and tribulations in amongst a world of ghosts and ancient trees spirits, with a smattering of quirky and sometimes sinister characters, is utterly captivating. Folklore and legend invisibly entwine with the here and now to create a heart-warming tale of everyday magic and adventure where, deep in the ancient woods, time can stand still.
A budding writer from early childhood, Stephanie penned her first short story; ‘Alison and the Magic Skiping Rope’ (with one ‘p’!) at the tender age of six. If not busy writing stories or poems, Stephanie was immersed in Enid Blyton mysteries which fired her already lively imagination and kindled an enduring love of books. Since escaping from a busy working life, Stephanie has realised a lifelong dream and written her debut novel ‘The Woodsman’. Inspired by a love of Nature and walking, ‘The Woodsman’, a tale of everyday magic, is steeped in legend and folklore. Stephanie lives in a small hamlet on the Nottinghamshire border where she fulfils another passion by putting on live music in the tiny village hall. When not reading, she can usually be found dancing to her 1954 Wurlitzer jukebox or exploring wild places with her husband Andy and rescue whippet Stanley in their camper van.
