From two of the UK's best-known book makers, Robert Macfarlane and Luke Adam Hawker, comes a stunning picture book to ignite wonder in readers everywhere.

The first in an upcoming trilogy, Firefly is sure to appeal to all ages -An uplifting and lyrical story of light, hope and wonder -With words from beloved and bestselling author, Robert Macfarlane, creator of The Lost Words and The Lost Spells -Stunning artwork created from original etchings by Luke Adam Hawker, whose debut book Together was a Sunday Times bestseller -Spectacular gift book, cloth bound with a copper foiled cover -This accessible story is perfect for children, and adults, ages 7 and above
