    About this ebook

    Follow Your Dreams, is a children's story book in Marg Watt's delightful Tales from Hallowed Hollow series.

    It tells a tale that teaches us all that the well known, age old saying of, "What comes around, goes around" is true.

    Through it's delightful storyline this tale teaches everyone that what they do unto others has a habit of coming back to them, be it good or bad.

    This truth is demonstrated through the actions of many of the creatures living in, and around Hallowed Hollow and Saxby Wood.

      While it truthfully has been said that Isaiah Grubgrub, the hedgehog, had never been guilty of going out of his way to deliberately cause harm to any other creature during his lifetime, it could also just as truthfully have been said that he’d never gone out of his way to do a good turn for any other creature in need of his help either.

      If anyone had ever asked him if he thought this state of affairs made him a good or bad animal, he wouldn’t have been able to offer up an opinion on the matter. He quite simply didn’t really care one way or the other.

      As far as he was concerned, life was nothing more than looking out after his own interests, rather than worrying about what happened to other creatures, or for that matter, what other creatures may think of him either.

      Isaiah had been born and raised, in and around Hallowed Hollow and Saxby Wood, where he had never known what it might be like to suffer any form of hardship.

      He had never needed to concern himself about being short of food, or a warm and dry place to shelter away from the worst of weathers during the coldest winter months, so he was prone to take all these sorts of things, and many more, fore granted.

      His attitude meant that he tended to be far less sympathetic than he otherwise could have been when it came to the subject of other creature’s needs during the hardships of winter.

      During one particularly harsh winter, some season cycles after he had woken up from his deep winter’s sleep - where he had been tucked away in his warm underground burrow hidden away within a group of thick bushes - he had gone outside to dig around beneath some small rocks where he knew he’d find a few juicy beetles.

      He had gulped them all down greedily while totally ignoring, and without a single thought, for the plight of the starving bird who’d been forced to stand by and watch him eat the lot, even though Isaiah himself wasn’t
