The Hedge Witch: A Threadneedle Novella

Written by Cari Thomas

Narrated by Gabrielle Nellis-Pain

An enchanting new novella set in the magical world of Sunday Times bestseller Threadneedle.

Rowan is visiting her aunt – Winne the hedge witch – in the Welsh countryside, to get back to nature and hone her skills, as well as taking a break from her annoying sisters and enjoying some peace and quiet. However, Rowan soon comes to realise that hedges are a serious business and this isn’t quite the opportunity to rest and escape she thought it might be.

Not only that, but mysterious events around the town are causing panic in the secret magical community and cowans – non-magical folk – are starting to take notice.

Can Rowan hone her hedge craft, try to make some friends and solve the riddle of the mysterious goings-on, or is magic about to be revealed to the world … or at least Wales?

I stumbled upon this book without ever having read anything by the author before... but now I need to read Threadneedle & Shadowstitch.

This was such a well written & magical novella about an awkward teen named Rowan who lives in London, but is sent by her mother to the countryside of Wales to spend the summer with her Aunt Winnie, the hedge witch.

At first, Rowan is miserable over the prospect of spending the summer so far away, but soon realizes that the sleepy country town isn't quite what it appears.

Besides that, a new friend, her Aunt's knowledge, and sudden mysterious events have offered her a much better adventure than she initially expected.

The narrator made this story a complete delight and immensely entertaining!! It was absolutely the best narration I ever heard!!

I will certainly be looking for everything that Gabrielle Nellis-Pain records! From the voices she created to the inflection in her tone, I was utterly enthralled with the tale and I know you will be, too!

Was a very sweet, cozy book to listen to. I felt like it ended kind of abruptly though.
