Local author Benji Barkley announces the release of his charming new children's picture book, 'The Lost Pages of Glastonbury,' inviting young readers aged 0-6 on a captivating adventure through the town's most beloved landmarks, now available on Amazon.

The delightful rhyming story follows siblings Ollie and Rosie and their mischievous dog, Patch, whose playful antics lead to their mother's book pages being scattered across the town. From the Tor, to the springs, abbey and festival, the children embark on a grand quest to retrieve the lost pages.

This vibrant tale not only entertains but also serves as a wonderful way to introduce children to the unique geography and cherished locations of their hometown.

"I wanted to create a story that focuses on the local treasures that often go unnoticed & that children are familiar with and can relate to," says Benji Barkley, author of 'The Lost Pages of Glastonbury.' "Seeing familiar places brought to life in a children's book helps foster a deeper connection to their community, and hopefully, inspires a few real-life adventures too!"

The book includes a beautiful illustrated map with the 12 locations marked, so that families can retrace the characters' steps around Glastonbury.
