Background

This tale opens on the northern outskirts of Dwaling, where 10 years-old Elyja lives happily with his parents until one day his father Mylo dies after a short illness. Left alone with her son, Thyme is forced to sell the family home and and  move into the  the old Brightmore Estate in the Southfarthing . On the first night in the new house, Elyja discover a  passage inside the library leading to a secret room, and later find

"RUFUS BRIGHTMORE'S JOURNAL TO THE HIDDEN PATHS OF THE SHIRE AND WORLD AROUND YOU"

an ancient hand-written  and unfinished book with information on all sorts of weird and queer things  including faeries, goblins, and such, hidden inside a chest in the secret cellar. The book comes with a warning  that the information contained in it  not meant to be in the wrong hands. What follows are many  adventures and incredible discoveries - Elija is determined to finish the work his great great grandfather Rufus has started.  This quest takes over his life - Elyja will spend  many years exploring  the hidden paths of the Shire and the mysterious creatures that still live  unseen  among the remote forests and forgotten caves. His writing  and detailed drawings are slowly filling the blank pages of the book. In his spare time, Eljya enjoys the peace and quiet of the Northfarthing  and playing music. He has recently moved Brockenborings  in search of  more information about hobgoblings, urisks and faeries, and it is here that one night as he is walking through the apple orchards he notice a solitary hobbit sitting quietly under the the moon and the stars...
