Written and read by Australia's most highly acclaimed writer of fantasy for young people. "In this strangely captivating Australian tale, the main character is half elf and half troll, and looks like a 4-year-old child. Humans are the other, and often the enemy in this tale - Little Fur must go on a brave and dangerous journey to save her beloved forest from being burned by them.
