Mountain Garden is written in and as a classic picaresque narrative. It contains time-honoured, favourite writing styles including elements of the morality tale, fairy tale, epic and of course, the instructive fable... A spiritual journey, legendary quest, a fauna epic, betrayal versus heroism – Mountain Garden's strength in the main lies in the fact that it has a familiar structure... It takes the reader on a vital journey through danger, right, wrong, faith but most of all – love.

Robin Dutt

Buckan is such an inspiring creature proving that true love exists deep in our hearts, along with compassion and large reserves of strength ready to come out when crisis occurs!!
This tale is a powerful and very symbolic story for grown-ups and a must-read for teenagers: believing in yourself and showing compassion to others always make you a winner in the end, eventually, overcoming the obstacles of your own life and finding peace and tranquillity deep in your soul...I just loved it!

Christine M

Energetically written, with multi-sensory descriptions, this book is part fairy tale, part spiritual awakening. The reader enters a magical world where animals talk and we follow Buckan the stag as he learns that the outer world reflects our inner thinking and love dissolves fear. If you like stories of light triumphing over darkness, you'll love this.
