The Tin Forest
Author(s): Helen Ward
There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten that was filled with all the things that no one wanted.
Helen Ward's tale of The Tin Forest follows an old man who tidies the rubbish in a junkyard and dreams of a better place. With faith, ingenuity and hard work, he transforms it into a wonderland in this poetic modern fable.
