In the garden behind a small cottage grows an ancient oak tree that hides a secret. The young boy who lives in the cottage couldn’t care less about the tree and certainly doesn’t know it is enchanted. But all is about to change, as the fairies living in the oak are about to cast a spell that will change his life forever…
The Boy in the Oak is an enchanting fairy tale written and illustrated by Jessica Albarn. It deals with the consequences of mistreating nature, and ultimately the power of kindness, thoughtfulness and forgiveness. The book itself is wonderfully tactile, with an embossed cover and translucent images overlaying the pages. The story is currently being made into a short film, a mixture of live action and animation, with Jude Law narrating. The score is being written by Jessica’s brother Damon (of Blur and Gorillaz fame).
