 The Lost Forests.

The Lost Forests story tells how Timothy Barber was given a bag of magical seeds by one of the world's last flying pigs!

Timothy planted the seeds wherever he heard the strange sounds of the Otherworlds drifting up from underneath the ground. Mysterious forests of talking, moving trees sprung up overnight where the seeds were planted, and along with them Trapdoors down to the Otherworlds, the place where creatures of magic and mythology live safe from our world,  like the PUGGLE. Find out more about the Puggle in The Puggle Tales.

Timothy visited the Otherworlds by entering through these trapdoors, but in 1932 he disappeared and all the forests and trapdoors vanished with him.

In 1987, Timothy's grandson, Tony the Toymaker, found a bag of the magic seeds in an old chest in the attic and began "rediscovering" the Lost Forests in the same way that his grandfather had.

Every night, Tony opens the trapdoors and visits the Otherworlds to search for his grandparents Timothy & Rosebud. During the day, he makes toys that look just like the real creatures he meets on his journeys to the Otherworlds.
