When Olivia and Mr. Barker (Harry) tumble through the darkness they arrive in a magic forest. They meet a big brown talking turtle named Walter. Walter tells them different stories of talking trees, twin brother rabbits who plant flowers and have a great vegetable garden, bluebird sisters, beavers who have a blues band, and many other residents of the Magic Forest. The Louders are a large, blended squirrel family who moved from Kentucky to settle in the Magic Forest.

Readers who liked The Wind and the Willows, will love the Oliva and Mr. Barker In the Magic Forest-stories include adventure, rescue, neighbors helping neighbors, and forever love. Primitive illustrations bring the magical settings and engaging characters to life.

Olivia and Harry return often to the Magic Forest and each time Walter has an engrossing story that has a reminder for them on the value of friendship, helping others, the Golden Rule, and the beauty of nature. Anything is possible in a Magic Forest!
