Full of heart, humor, and surprising twists, Garden Adventures tells a story of courage, friendship, and the magic that can bloom in the most ordinary places. It begins in a quiet English garden where animals and insects live side by side: Orabella and Winston, two lively parakeets; Cassian, a wise old fox; Cornelius, a brave daddy-long-legs with an injured wing – just to name a few.

When Charles, the owner of the house and garden, rescues an arctic fox, a new magical chapter begins. From cozy tea times beneath a monkey puzzle tree to a daring journey deep underground, the garden friends discover how far courage, kindness, and friendship can take them.
 
Along the way, you’ll meet many wonderful characters:
 
Edgar, the snail who keeps losing his home. Lucan, the thoughtful tortoise. Corkabus, the mightiest spider in the world. Raw, the glowing firefly. Troy and Isaac, Cornelius’ curious grandchildren. And there is even a dinosaur or two.
 
As friendships are tested, new bonds are formed, and bravery is needed, the garden becomes a stage filled with magic, warmth, and adventure.
 
Garden Adventures is a heartwarming story for anyone who loves animals, imagination, and the special kind of magic that appears when friends stand together.
 
Wishing you a wonderful reading experience – and thank you for being part of this journey. 

The book is available on Amazon. 

Peter Warner
About the Author:Peter Warner is a first-time author who, until May 2023, worked in a Professional Services Firm. During countless evenings and weekends spent travelling extensively — often amid flights and delays — he found solace in writing. Inspiration for his debut book came from a house he once lived in, which had a ‘cold room’ inhabited by spiders and insects. In the garden, a beautiful Monkey Puzzle tree was visited daily by a pair of green parakeets, while an old red fox often slept beneath it. These small details sparked the idea for Garden Adventures. The story took shape thousands of feet in the air, as Peter wrote during his many journeys. Writing became his sanctuary — a place of complete freedom. The characters he created became his companions, their lives intertwining with his as he brought their world to life.
