Planned - a friend from the wider world
Peek ahead →One gentle world
Every Lantern Path character lives in the same warm, slow world. Now and then a character notices something from another's story - a lantern glowing far across the fields, a friendly face at the edge of a page. These little threads are a quiet reward for families who read more than one series. They are never a puzzle a young child has to solve.
