Page:Miss Helen's Magical World.pdf/19

 Helen Martins was an artist who made her imaginary world real. A lonely woman living in a small town, she travelled to faraway places in her mind. She turned her home and garden into a magical creative space. Now, Miss Helen’s ‘Owl House’ in Nieu Bethesda is a National Monument. Many people travel to her former home every year to sit in her Camel Yard among the pilgrims and mermaids, and walk through the glittering glass halls.

This is the story of Helen Martin’s battle against darkness, told by one of the creatures she loved best, the wise old owl.
