It is late summer 1923 and young Tom Evans has written a letter to the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, asking him to stop developers from chopping down a horse chestnut tree, in which Tom and his pals have only just finished building a tree-house. When the kids receive word back that the Mayor has ordered the tree's safekeeping, they organise a party to celebrate. However, when Tom sets out that night to a nearby allotment to pinch some apples for the party, a sinister presence has other ideas and unleashes supernatural forces that could lead to Tom's own destruction. Who, or what, will save Tom in his hour of need? Find out this and much more in Jethro Codeine's past-and-present tale of magic and mystery. Exquisitely illustrated by Siobhan Griffiths and with an all-star, stellar cast straight out of your grocery basket, The Miracle of Knotty Ash is sure to leave you spellbound.
