A Walk in the Enchanted Forest of Nature

Why does nature have such great power to heal, transform, and inspire? Walk with us in the enchanted forest of nature, full of wonder and mystery.

T. A. Barron shares the story of how he first came to know the enduring power of nature. He walks us through his journey from a nature writer to a fantasy writer and why the magic of nature infuses all his stories.

Carolyn and T. A. discuss the dangers that nature is facing in the 21st century and some ways we can help.

We sit in the hold of a great Redwood tree and read a passage from The Ancient One, where a young teenage girl from Oregon faces grave peril to herself and her world… and finds the courage to hope.

Ultimately there are many ways nature renews our hope and gives us the strength to prevail. What are they? Tune in to find out. 

Check out The Ancient One.

Magic & Mountains is hosted by T. A. Barron, beloved author of more than 30 books. Carolyn Hunter is co-host.
