A colouring book meets a picture book in a fantasy forest that is open to be reinvented by both children and adults alike. From the author of the global bestseller Secret Garden (over 12 million copies sold!) and Enchanted Forest (over 5 million copies sold worldwide!), Johanna Basford, Miniature Enchanted Forest is a small-scale edition of her classic colouring book. It can be used for colouring, drawing and even writing own stories in the empty spaces.

Personally I want this pandemic to end as soon as possible and forget these challenging times once and for all. I certainly would not want to read about it or to listen to songs about lockdown. But there’s an exception to this: Together – published by Kyle Books tomorrow – is a beautifully illustrated book by Luke Adam Hawker that highlights all the meaningful connections we have made during such a challenging time.
