Harklights - Tim Tilley

Harklights 🌲🕯️ Tim Tilley

Wick has always lived in the dark and dreadful Harklights Match Factory and Orphanage, working tirelessly for greedy Old Ma Bogey. He dreams of escaping… until one day a bird drops something impossible and magical at his feet: a tiny baby in an acorn cradle.🌳

As midnight chimes, Wick is visited by the Hobs, miniature protectors of the forest. Grateful for the kindness he’s shown to their stolen child, they offer Wick the chance of a lifetime: escape from Harklights and a new life in the wild.✨

Winner of the Joan Aiken Future Classics Prize, Harklights is a magical story celebrating family, friendship, and the natural world, with a hopeful message that really stays with you.
