Barney's Bedstead — Graham Peebles

The trouble begins when Barney Betts breaks his bed. The second-hand replacement bought at the mysterious Crumpshaw's Emporium is more than it seems â€" it is magical! In a sleepy village in the 1950s, a secret haven for fantasy and magic exists within the borders of Badger Wood, watched over by the Foundling, who keeps balance between ordinary rural England, and the magical world of Pangloria. The inhabitants of Plummington Minor have no idea about the strange land beyond their borders, but when the Foundling is stolen by a group of evil Bogwights, only Barney and his friends have the nerve to investigate. When their quest flounders however, they must seek the help of Rookwort, the bungling wizard who allowed the Foundling's capture and Amarelda, the gifted seer who may have more to reveal than just the location of the Bogwights' lair. As loyalties are tested and adventure dawns for the final epic battle, the fate of two worlds hangs upon the courage of a dog, four children and a magical flying bedstead that will carry them into the fray. Will they be able to save the Foundling in time? visit the World of Pangloria website at: www.grahampeeblesauthor.com
