Meet tour guides Hex and Jazz as they lead a trip across space, time, and reality. Seemingly plain and normal towns actually hold secret magical histories! Take a ride on the golden ghost train at Dumfries station, meet the elusive Blacksmith who helps people get married, and if you're brave enough, face the dangerous maze at Yorkshire Sculpture Park!

From the publisher: “This Magical Travel Guide was written over the course of eleven sessions by thirty amazing young writers aged 9 to 14 from Scotland and England (helped along with staff from Moat Brae and Grimm & Co). The sessions were fun, and we learnt lots about the different areas linking Moat Brae, Scotland's National Centre for Children's Literature and Storytelling, and Grimm & Co, the Emporium of Stories. The book spans two countries and takes you on a journey from Dumfries, to Carlisle, and then Sheffield... with a few special detours thrown in too! Although these places are very real, they are slightly different to the ones mortal humans can see. This guide is told through the eyes of our two magical tour guides, Jazz and Hex, and because of this, you will be able to learn more about these fabulous locations.”
