Genre:

The
Forest Realm is a magical world within our own. You cannot see it,
nor can you hear it, and only very few might be able to feel it. The
realm feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, and protects the
hunted... so long as their hearts are pure.
Recently
orphaned, two heartbroken brothers are at risk of separation by the
government...
A
black Labrador leads a colony of rabbits away from danger...
A
destitute family of rats seek a new life away from the pollution of
the big city...
All
have been rescued by the realm of magic, and their lives are truly
about to change.
Come
and join us in The Forest where magic thrives, adventures are rife,
and friendships last forever.

Tales from the forest is a collection of magical short stories. The woods tell stories of friendship, family, adventure and mythical creatures. There is a good variety of animals and some lessons to be learnt. There are plenty of stories to choose from and some are longer than others.
I'll be honest, I always want more with short stories and this book was no different.
It's aimed at the 10-18 year old age group but I think the younger end of the spectrum will enjoy it more.
3 stars out of 5. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jo
was born in Colchester, Essex, in 1974 and since an early age has
always been accused of having a wild imagination. This didnt stop her
from studying for an honours degree in Cell and Molecular Biology,
training as a science teacher, then go on to train as a Biomedical
Scientist. She eventually took a post in Clinical Chemistry at Jersey
General Hospital in the Channel Islands.
Whilst holding down a
full time job, and working 28 hour emergency on call shifts, she has
managed to find the time to share that wild imagination with the
world by writing online fan fiction stories about the CW series
Supernatural.
She enjoyed it so much that, with a lot of
encouragement from her husband, she decided to write her own stories.
Not an easy task for somone dogged by anxiety and depression, and
since her diagnosis in 2013 she has also been battling with
Ulcerative Colitis.
In spite of her struggles, Tales from the
Forest, a series of short stories set in a magical realm, began to
take physical form on her laptop screen, and her black labrador
Nelson is a valiant hero in some of the stories. As an avid animal
lover, she has vowed that all proceeds from the sale of this book
series will help to set up a forever home sanctuary for stray,
elderly and abandoned dogs.
Although still working full time
at the hospital, she has turned her thoughts to the future, and now
holds a Diploma in Dog Training from the Centre of Excellence, and is
currently studying towards a Diploma in Canine Communication in order
to prepare for a life of working with rescue dogs.
