The Tin Forest

Helen Ward's tale of The Tin Forest follows an old man who tidies the rubbish in a junkyard and dreams of a better place. With faith, ingenuity and hard work, he transforms it into a wonderland in this poetic modern fable.

Helen Ward trained at the Brighton School of Art, winning the first Walker Prize for Children's Illustration in her final year. Having twice won the National Art Library Award, her books for Templar include Aeso's Animal Fables, King of the Birds, Varmints and The Cockerel and the Fox, short-listed for the 2003 Kate Greenaway Medal.
