INSIGHTS
Mavis Gulliver, a lover of islandsand contributor to this magazine, finds
inspiration from her travels around the
Hebrides. After a long teaching career,
latterly on Colonsay, she has fulfilled
her ambition to write for children.
A Tiree fencepost in the rough shape
of a horse’s head triggered her
imagination and led her to write The
Hagstone Chronicles.
Swirled together with magic,
mystery, island locations and folklore,
the three bookstake the reader on
an epic adventure as they join the
Benevolent Wizards in their determi-
nation to defeat Malevolent Witchery.
Accolades for the books have come,
not only from 8 -12 year olds, but from
teenagers, teachers, parents and a
46-year-old man who said, “I love to
immerse myself in a book meant for
children. This is not just a story for the
young, but for the young at heart.”
Ideal for a holiday, for curling up on
a winter’s evening, for reading alone
or for sharing with the whole family,
the three books make a perfect
Christmasgift.On a limited offer - until Christmas
