Percy’s Dilemma plus The Cosmeston Secret

By Geraldine Seymour and Lewis A Coles

PERCY’S DILEMMA

As winter nears, Percy is very hungry when he spots an ad for Cardiff Bay. He ventures out on a disaster-prone journey to find food. Along the way, kind strangers help Percy before he discovers adventure and new friends.

THE COSMESTON SECRET

Dai and Nye are Cosmeston’s woodland elves and feather rangers, tasked with the important job of collecting fallen feathers for recycling. Exhausted from overwork, they oversleep one morning. Desperate for a solution, the elves seek help and are offered a problematic suggestion by Vincent the vole that causes chaos.
