A quiet countryside walk becomes something uncanny.
A narrator follows a talking spring and a green plant that seems to shape events around a sleepy countryside setting. In this atmospheric fiction, a simple stroll leads to strange encounters and a growing sense that nature holds its own, whispered dramas. The narrative unfolds through the narrator’s observations, the lure of a mysterious spring, and the subtle dangers that creep into a peaceful day.

Excerpt from The Five Jars
You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard some thing from the owls - or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told.
It was really luck, and not any skill of mine, that put me in the way of it; luck, and also being ready to believe more than I could see. I have promised not to put down on paper the name of the wood where it happened: that can keep till we meet; but all the rest I can tell exactly as it came about.
