In the Kingdom of Arthwen, there was a very unusual shop. It wasn't on the high street; it was deep in the forest. It wasn't in a building; it was inside a tree. It didn't sell food or clothes or toys; this shop sold potions. Tibben wants to be the Potions Master one day, just like Grandpa, but for now he is an Apprentice, and there is lots to learn! From the creator of the best-selling Fairytale Hairdresser series, Abie Longstaff, this story is perfect for engaging younger children.

Many of us don’t understand the nature of self-compassion nor the power of compassion to improve ...

Deep in the forest there's a very special tree, and inside its trunk you'll find The Magic Potions Shop.
