Trace writes Tales by Trace Fryer: historical fiction with fairy-like characters and sentimental animal stories, set in the garden. The Rams Horn Secret Tea Garden is both the garden and the book, and the garden’s corners are the book’s places.

Every evening, as the lanterns are lit, a hidden gate waits for its guests.

The rabbit arrives from Amsterdam: “Tulips… and a little courage.”
The frog arrives from China: “From where tea first began, the finest leaves of all.”
“Every guest knows the secret password. It is the only way in.”
