A story-led studio rooted in wonder, warmth, and the wild beauty of the Isle of Man.

We create illustrated books and storytelling experiences that speak to the heart—crafted for readers of all ages who still believe in quiet magic. At the centre of our work is Tales of The Glen—an original, character-driven story world filled with cloaked rabbits, thoughtful mice, and the soft-spoken wisdom of the woods.

These are stories of comfort, belonging, and imaginative joy—woven with Celtic folklore, nature’s gentleness, and emotional truth. Whether you’re turning pages by the fire, watching a short film, or simply wandering through our prints and cards, you’re always welcome in The Glen.

Our illustrated books blend traditional storytelling, animal characters, and emotional warmth. Each tale is set in The Glen—a whimsical woodland filled with cloaked rabbits, curious mice, ancient oaks, and hidden messages.

Chat with me, O best beloved, & let us write a story together, a tale to be told beside the fire, under the twinkling canopy of the night. Welcome to a world of tales, where the leaves whisper secrets & every breeze dances with joy. 

If you are curious about my statement. It's not an incantation or prayer, but you could think of it as a poetic invitation—a call to gather and create stories together. It reflects my creative process and the spirit behind my art. I draw inspiration from the natural world, where even the smallest leaf or gentlest breeze seems to carry its own story. Additionally, I am deeply inspired by people and their stories. The emotions, experiences, and dreams of individuals fuel my creativity and are woven into the fabric of each tale I tell. By inviting you to 'chat' and 'write a story together,' I hope to evoke a sense of communal storytelling, reminiscent of old tales shared around a fire under the stars. It's about creating a shared space where imagination and magic come alive.
