About the author
Rosamunde Bott
8 books59 followersBorn in the Isle of Man, my family moved to England when I was 2 and I grew up in a village near Banbury in Oxfordshire. My father was an actor, and my mother an artist.
I wanted to write from a very young age. I loved magical/mystical stories, such as those written by C.S Lewis and Alan Garner. When I was 12 we moved to London where I stayed for the next 20 years, and upon leaving decided to become an actor like my Dad - but the continual struggle to find work I found too frustrating and eventually gave it up and spent several years in an assortment of jobs including secretarial work and teaching. All through these years I have written in my spare time.
I am now self employed as a professional genealogist - and the books I am writing are either fully historical, or have a family history theme, with 'time slip' chapters. I like to connect the past with the present.

I received this book free through Goodreads first reads.
My son really enjoys fantasy books, but I often find that they are so vastly unreal or strange that they are difficult to read. This one has just the right mix of real characters and fantasy characters that make it a lovely fun read. Four children find a magic stone which transports them to a different land, where they set out on a journey to save the kingdom. Along the way they meet and travel with various people and creatures. There are no really scary bits in it, and I would feel happy for my children to read this.
