Thistle, a spirited and independent girl, lives in a humble cottage with her elderly grandmother. She is resourceful and imaginative, finding joy in the simple pleasures of nature and the beauty of her surroundings. Thistle loves spending time in the woods, exploring the meadows, and cherishing the company of animals.
On the other hand, Rose belongs to a well-to-do family living in a grand mansion nearby. Although Rose has material comforts, she often feels lonely and stifled by her strict upbringing. She yearns for the freedom that Thistle seems to enjoy effortlessly.
One day, fate brings Thistle and Rose together, and they become instant friends. Despite their differences in social standing, the girls discover a shared love for adventure and a deep connection with nature.

As the seasons change, so do the girls' experiences and perspectives. Together, they face adversity, support each other's dreams, and learn the value of true friendship. Their bond transcends social barriers, proving that genuine connections are not confined by class or wealth.
Thistle and Rose is a delightful tale of friendship, self-discovery, and the enchanting beauty of nature. Amy Walton's evocative writing transports readers to the lush English countryside, where the innocent joys of childhood and the power of friendship are celebrated.
