Kids’ writers book a place at Abbotsford
Innerleithen’s Fiona Boyd will certainly feel at home when she talks about her latest middle-grade historical fiction tale “Sir Walter Scott and the Magical Well” on Sunday, November 7 at 10.30am.
In the book, we meet Tafren, a mischievous elf, and delve into this spellbinding world, featuring tricks, transformations, amulets, aristocracy and the titular original owner of Abbotsford himself.
