Eliza Thorncroft weaves timeless tales of friendship, wonder, and woodland magic.

Inspired by the quiet charm of hedgerows, meadows, and country lanes, her stories invite readers of all ages to slow down and savour the small joys of the natural world.

With a love for storytelling rooted in tradition and heart, Eliza brings the creatures of Hedgerow Hollows Tales, The Mice of Moonlit Meadows, Cozy Burrows Chronicles, and The Little Burrows Whispers, to life with tenderness, imagination, and a touch of whimsy. Her tales offer quiet retreat for the heart, where imagination and comfort gently entwine.
