Tales of the Dark Forest Series by Steve Barlow, Steve Skidmore

Being held up in the Dark Forest by a highway-wolf is the last straw for poor Willum! He dreams of becoming a GoodKnyght. But Fate has other, more dangerous plans for him.

Cities, towns and villages exist like islands in a green sea, while in the Dark Forest itself live hermits, wizards and all manner of creatures. Tym, apprentice to the local wizard, accidentally invents a new potion that causes them to move at incredible speeds - and with interesting side effects!

The Dark Forest is a world. Cities, towns and villages exist like islands in a green sea, while in the Forest itself live hermits, wizards and all manner of weird and wonderful creatures - some invented, some strangely familiar. Trollogy! follows the misadventures of poor old Bertram - a troll who's a complete failure as he can't tell chalk from granite, but who discovers a talent for cooking. (His rock cakes are amazing!)

All is not well in the city of Beau Revere. Will is trapped in the dream-world of the Knyghtmare. Rose can’t wake him, and despite Tym’s help, the Dreamwalker is powerless to intervene... moreAll is not well in the city of Beau Revere. Will is trapped in the dream-world of the Knyghtmare.
