The set rewards binge-reading with a gradually expanding universe—each book offering its own spark while reinforcing familiar themes of literacy, imagination, and the joy of discovering new favorites within beloved shelves. Beautifully designed for gifting, display, and everyday reading, the collection is ideal for cultivating a lifelong love of stories in curious minds and generous readers alike.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Book Smugglers
Milo lives on board the Sesquipedalian, a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both Story and the real world. The train is owned by Milo’s uncle, Horatio, and Milo has witnessed many of his uncle’s dodgy dealings as a book smuggler trading in rare books. This opener sets the tone for a series rooted in curiosity, danger, and the thrill of discovering how books can bend reality to reveal new friendships and daring quests.

Tilly and the Bookwanderers
Eleven-year-old Tilly has lived above her grandparents’ bookshop, where every shelf promises a different adventure. Like the rest of her family, Tilly loves escaping into the pages of favourite stories. As a bookwanderer, she can travel inside books and speak with the characters she meets there, unlocking friendships that only stories can offer and grounding her in a world where reading is a passport to extraordinary experiences.

Tilly and the Lost Fairy Tales
Tilly, a steadfast bookwanderer, journeys into the land of fairytales to locate what’s gone awry when tales begin leaking magic. On a wintery visit to Paris, she and her best friend Oskar bravely travel inside stories to discover that characters are getting lost, plots are tangled, and mysterious holes are opening in happily-ever-afters. Tilly’s courage and compassion are put to the test as she works to restore order to cherished tales.

Tilly and the Map of Stories
Strange things are happening in Pages & Co: a man enters seeking a book, then cannot remember it. The world feels unsettled as the “map of stories” begins to rewrite itself. Tilly must untangle memory, meaning, and the fragile threads that connect readers to every story they hold dear. This finale ramps up tension and wonder, inviting readers to chase answers across a narrative landscape where imagination holds real power.
