Welcome to Willowford, a peaceful woodland village where the river runs slow, the willows whisper in the wind, and mysteries have a habit of appearing when you least expect them.
Fortunately, Willowford has Inspector Tobias.
Wise, patient, and always carrying his magnifying glass and notebook, Tobias the tawny owl is the woodland's most thoughtful detective. When something strange happens in the village, the animals know exactly who to call.
In these twelve warm and whimsical mysteries, Tobias must solve curious cases such as:
- The strange disappearance of a festival cake
- Crooked footprints that terrify the village
- A whispering marsh that seems to know names
- A sinking boat on the river
- Missing dew at sunrise
- The great burrow mix-up beneath the Assembly Oak
- And the mystery of the silent Clock Tree
Alongside friends like Edgar the anxious squirrel, Wren the baker, Moss the duckling, Otis the river otter, and the ever-dignified Mrs Willowmere, Inspector Tobias shows that the best mysteries are solved with patience, kindness, and a careful look at the facts.
Full of gentle humour, woodland charm, and cosy detective work, Inspector Tobias of Willowford: A Collection of Woodland Mysteries is perfect for young readers who love animal stories, village adventures, and clever puzzles with heart.
A delightful chapter storybook ideal for readers aged 7-11, bedtime reading, or shared family story time.
