The Singing Hill
Welcome to the world of “Furber and the Mystic Woods”. A place of magic, humour, and gentle storytelling. Written and illustrated by Daniel Saunders.
Hi, I’m Daniel, and I have spent the past year crafting ‘Furber and the Mystic Woods’ with the intention of creating a peaceful online sanctuary. This world will always be open for everyone to explore, and my hope is that people may find something healing within these gentle stories.
Currently, there are 12 episodes (with plenty more on the way!), so pour yourself a cup of tea, relax, and let Furber and his friends guide you into the forest.
Catch up on all episodes so far
On a final note, I want to make these episodes as accessible as possible. They will always remain free, but if you like what I’m doing, there are many ways you can support me and my art. Please consider sharing this message or making a donation.
Thank you,
Daniel

A Cup of Tea
After a long day of tree listening, Furber had arrived back home. He knew exactly what he needed to do next. He made his way to the stove and put the kettle on. As the kettle gradually began to boil, Furber reflected on his day.
I’m making progress, it’s been difficult, but I’m making progress…
Furber had gone much further into the woodland today and spoken to many trees. He listened deeply to their concerns and took time to comfort them. Through his patience and understanding, Furber was making a big difference.
Soon there was a sharp whistle and Furber turned his attention back to the kettle. He took the kettle and carefully tipped the water out into a teapot. The water turned a rich golden colour, and the gentle scent of tea leaves began to fill the room.
Furber paused before pouring the tea out into his cup.
I think if anyone has earned a cup of tea, it’s me!
Moments later, Furber made his way outside. The evening air was much cooler now and the woods were quiet. Around the back of his house, Furber had set up a small table and chairs with a view that overlooked the woodland.
As Furber sat down and began to drink his tea, he felt the heartbeat of the Earth underneath his feet and thought about his connection to the world around him.
When I’m in the present moment, I feel joyful.
He drank again from his cup.
In the present moment, I’m reminded that I’m never alone. I’m connected to a universe full of love, compassion, and playfulness.
Separation is an illusion.
As sky darkened and slowly filled with stars, Furber smiled to himself, because his cup of tea was the universe, and the universe was his cup of tea!

Meet Furber
Furber is a gentle and good natured spirit who has been chosen to protect and care for the Mystic Woods.
As a Tree Listener, he has built a deep connection with all the trees in the forest while providing healing and support for them.
Despite his quiet nature, he takes his work very seriously. He wants to help as much as possible, but often gets overwhelmed and makes more trouble for himself by overthinking everything.
As well as drinking tea with Frizzle, Furber enjoys long walks through the woodland and writing. He is currently working on his book, ‘Conversations with Trees’.
