The World of Angus Bruin (Paperback)

Paperback. Welcome to the beautiful landscape world of our little hero, Angus Bruin who lives in his cosy "Cottagebarrel". The World of Angus Bruin is the final book, BOOK 8 in the First Series of titled The Adventures of Angus Bruin. As a Collector's Edition, this book is intended very much as a keep-sake book. It is not an adventure for Angus (because he has already been there and lived through those amazing adventures he had); rather, it is a book specifically for you, the reader, to actually follow in the paw steps of Angus, on his day of adventures. You will be taken paw step by paw step through Angus's world. You will follow the maps as they emerge like a jigsaw puzzle highlighting the beautiful landscapes as you encounter them. The locations where Angus met his new pals will appear; you will hear the Lone Piper and see the distant castle; the shepherd and his flock on the hillside; the beaver causing mayhem on the beck! You should experience the sights and sounds as Angus had done. This is not a story, but a re-living of Angus's adventure locations; you are guided to them paw step by paw step, navigating with compass and map, learning to orienteer. Witness the location of the amazing (though slightly scary), Eagle's Shadow. See where he went "SPLASH!" and then soared off to his eyrie in the mountains, his strong talons grasping his newly acquired lunch! Enjoy the location of the burnside meadow and woodland, and the burn where Isla taught Fisher to catch Fry. Follow the homeward journey of Angus with the map, and see his arrival at the Cottagebarrel Garden. As you travel on your journey, you will be accompanied by Sol, and you will notice how his movement across the sky creates different moving shadows on the landscape. You learn how to navigate using the compass and head in the correct direction on your journey to your next destination, in the paw prints of Angus, that you will following. You will note that Sol has risen in the East beyond the distant mountains, then as you head north and west, Sol is moving South, as Talon casts a vast shadow. Sol then continues Westward until it is time for him to set, beyond the distant hillsides in the West. As you reach the location of the end of Angus's journey through his day of adventures; you suddenly realise that just to the East of the Cottagebarrel, is the woodland where the Wild Strawberries grow, and you remember that was the location of Angus's first adventure, on his amazing day! This is the final Book in the First Series of The Adventures of Angus Bruin, brought to a conclusion with this Collector's Edition. There is one last book yet to be published, for the year's end. It is called "A TIMELESS JOURNEY" and will be in Special format for your enjoyment. The perfect bedtime companion for children aged 2-7, fostering communication and a love for the natural world. A note from the Author: I do sincerely hope that you have enjoyed reading this First Series of The Adventures of Angus Bruin, as much as I have in creating the characters and writing the stories. I have been ably assisted in the illustrations contained in the books by the services of Gemini, a Google AI, a far better illustrator than I. However, I do take credit for the creation and illustration of the Map of the World of Angus Bruin! Standby, I have a host of numerous characters (some 50 in total) ready to be brought into action (or at least some of them) in SERIES TWO. I have many storylines plotted in my head and have a general idea as to where I shall be starting, with the history of Angus and his family of Marsican Brown Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
