    About this ebook

    Will's garden is home to a secret, a magical world that no one but him is even aware exists. When whispers of a faerie queen reach his ears, he cannot know just how a part of that world he will soon become.

    The Magic Garden is a warm-hearted step away from the dark observations that usually permeate Shane Greenhough's work. It is a sheer flight of fantasy that takes the reader into a world smaller, and at once grander, than our own.

      The Magic Garden

      By Shane Alexander Greenhough

      Smashwords Edition
