Sinossi

We are now in the future. Machines and technology have overtaken reading, books, and imagination. Reason has been replaced by artificial intelligence, as humanity becomes more obsessed with consumption over creation. Automation has left a pale substitute of what used to be. Unique sensations of smell and sight are lost as fruits are no longer as tasty, and stars are no longer as bright. The sky is bleak from the pollution of so-called development, destroying everything good and natural.

This story serves as a warning of what might happen to our future if we don’t reclaim our humanity.
This is a wake-up call: we must remind ourselves of what it means to be curious again – to be human again, and restore color to our world before it is too late.

    THE GIRL BROWNIES – ASHDOWN FOREST, ENGLAND 1919 
    Book 2 of 6 The Mystery of the Rusty Lantern 
    The summary of this first book in the series is as follows: 
    In 1919, six adventurous Brownies—Lulu, Minnie, Lottie, Agatha, Bernadette, and Beryl—discover an old lantern in Ashdown Forest with a cryptic riddle etched into its base: "Seek where the raven guards the past, beneath the stones where shadows last." Following clues to a raven-haunted monolith and a hidden stone circle, they unearth an 1859 surveyor’s journal and smuggler’s treasure. The journal leads them to a legendary healing spring, where they witness its miraculous properties first hand. Their findings attract local historians, revealing the lantern’s ties to forest wardens and Napoleonic-era smugglers. Celebrated as junior historians, the girls return their discoveries to the village museum, proud to have preserved a piece of Sussex’s past. As they gather around their campfire, the restored lantern’s glow reminds them that the forest still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered—and their next adventure is just beginning. 
    I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music, “Joyful Journey”, which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, recorder, tambourine,guitar and accordion in a folk/classical and cheerful mood. The closing music, “Bloom”, ends the tale on with more of the same at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments etc. but more of an ending feel and looking forward to the next story in the series.  
    The story and music itself runs to just about 14 minutes and is narrated in my wife's voice, Claire, who actually was a ranger guide!  
    I do hope you and your family enjoy this story, please let me know.
