Sir Walter Scott and the Magical Well de Fiona Boyd

Sir Walter Scott and the Magical Well

Fiona Boyd

When Tafren, a mischievous elf, pushes Lucy and Clementine, two Dandie Dinmont Terrier dogs into a well, they expect to drown. Instead, they do something extraordinary: they travel back through time to 1839 to meet their ancestor. 'I'm the Grandfather of all the Dandie Dinmont Terriers in your own time,' said Old Pepper. 'What he's trying to say is this,' said Tafren. 'If he dies before he has children, then the Dandie Dinmont Terrier breed of dog won't exist - which means you won't exist!' 'If Grandfather dies... I won't even be a reflection?' murmured Clementine, feeling a lump in her throat as she gazed sadly at her own reflection in the Well. Delve into Tafren's spellbinding world, featuring tricks, transformations, amulets, aristocracy and Sir Walter Scott, one of Scotland's greatest literary masters. 5% from the sale of this book will be donated to Kiss Goodbye to MS.

Notă biografică

Fiona Boyd is a happily married children's author, illustrator and motivational speaker with one daughter, living in the Scottish Borders. Brought up in the Yarrow Valley near Bowhill House, Fiona loves spending time in the countryside. Her knowledge of the local legends inspired her to create a magical tale based around the mystical "Tamlane's Well" on Bowhill Estate. Fiona is confined to a wheelchair due to Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. Although Fiona was an artist, she lost the use of her hands for several years and never thought she would be able to paint again. Fortunately, due to her patience and positive mental attitude, Fiona gradually learned how to hold a pen again and now takes enormous pleasure in writing and illustrating. Her first children's book, Princess Arebeena and the Crystal Fairies, was published in 2019 and is now available worldwide. Fiona is a Global Ambassador for Kiss Goodbye to MS - a worldwide campaign that enables people around the world to raise funds for vital research into Multiple Sclerosis and support people living with MS today. The global campaign is hosted by the MS International Federation (Registered Charity No: 110532). Five per cent from the sale of Fiona's books will be donated to this worthwhile global charity.
