Tumbledown Hollow: A Feast of Fairy Mysteries

Ten Deliciously Silly Fairy Tales Full of Snacks, Spells, and Suspicious Scones

By Robin Wickens

Step into a world where teacups talk, jam is mildly explosive, and custard might just stage a rebellion.

Tumbledown Hollow isn't your average fairy village—here, magical chaos is part of the recipe, and the local investigation team has very strong opinions on snack etiquette.

This laugh-out-loud collection features ten whimsical, food-fuelled mysteries where enchanted sandwiches come to life, pudding parlours hide ancient secrets, and magical mayhem is never more than a crumpet away.

Follow the Fairy Wing Investigation Squad—led by the endlessly practical and sternly snack-focused Mopsy Thistletoes—as they face:

• A whispering wand with an attitude,

• The rise of the sentient Sandwich Spirit,

• Talking teacups with scone trauma,

• And Treacleina the Tart’s latest sugary schemes.

Perfect for readers aged 7–12 (or grown-ups who still secretly name their biscuits), this enchanting chapter book blends clever storytelling, British humour, and delightfully absurd mysteries into a tasty literary treat.

📦 What’s Inside?

• 10 standalone but interconnected stories, each packed with mystery, magic, and jam

• A cast of lovably bonkers characters, from enchanted soup to pastry sorcerers

• Hilarious chapter titles like “The Case of the Midnight Cheese Choir” and “Mayonnaise and Mayhem”

• Themes of teamwork, curiosity, and celebrating the wonderfully weird

• A perfect bedtime or classroom read-aloud—each chapter is its own mini adventure!

🌟 Who’s It For?

• Fans of The Worst Witch, The Bolds, or Muddle and Win

• Kids who love fantasy with a silly twist

• Families looking for stories full of laughs and clever world-building

• Teachers and librarians seeking funny, imaginative reads that encourage vocabulary and giggles
