Set in the world of *The Café at the Edge of the Woods*, *The Rambler's Curse* follows the unexpected drama that unfolds when Rene and Glumfoot receive a particularly worrisome new customer. This is the first book in a trilogy for 8+ readers.

Everything is going wonderfully for Rene and Glumfoot at the Café at the Edge of the Woods until one day disaster strikes – a creature most foul and dangerous stumbles across the café during a storm: a human!

Humans, in Rene’s opinion, are monsters. And after Glumfoot discovers that humans have also been venturing into the enchanted world of Wandthorn Woods, threatening to disturb the lives of all of the creatures who live within it, he and Rene must set out on a mission to uncover who the intruders are, what they want, and how to stop them from destroying everything they hold dear.

It is a mission that will set in motion a series of events that may very well change the world forever…

Author-illustrator Mikey Please expands the world of his picture book *The Café at the Edge of the Woods* in this story, the first in a trilogy for 8+ readers featuring Rene and Glumfoot. The book is illustrated throughout with black and white artwork.
