The shape of it
One universe, several ways in.
Super Happy Magic Forest is Matty Long's absurd fantasy-comedy collection about a team of heroic-looking but very silly adventurers in a magical forest full of quests, monsters, slugs, portals, fungi, deserts and disasters. The collection begins as densely illustrated picture-book quests and then continues as longer illustrated chapter adventures, but the core pleasure stays the same: heroic fantasy tropes treated with gleeful nonsense. It is a superb fit for children who like quests, teams and fantasy creatures, but want jokes first and lore second.
A wildly funny fantasy-comedy collection about questing heroes, monsters, slugs, portals, mushrooms, deserts and total magical nonsense.
