About Debra
The Magical Quest for King Bernard’s Chest is Debra’s first children’s book centered around the characters and adventures within Swithland Woods, the inspiration was taken from the time she spent living on the edge of the woods in a wood cabin. Debra has designed the book to be more interactive to children and give them a chance to get out into nature and not only enjoy the adventure but be part of it, a secret map and character stickers are within the pages to plot their way along the quest.
