Book of Secrets links all books within the Fennel’s Journal series together. With 14 books in the series, and 14 core chapters in this edition, it’s the ‘one book to bind them all’. Fennel reveals his previously private writing that explains the background and meaning to each book in the series, with each chapter providing the continuity story from one book to the next. It can be read in two ways: firstly as a standalone book to be enjoyed in one go, secondly as individual prequels to each book where you read a chapter and then read the book to which it refers. If you’ve wondered why each book is themed the way it is, then Book of Secrets is for you.

Most popular quote from Book of Secrets

"There’s a greater man than me who can sum up our journey, a mountaineer who in 1865 first climbed the Matterhorn. Edward Whymper, over to you: “There have been joys too great to be described in words, and there have been griefs upon which I have not dared to dwell, and with these in mind I say, climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are naught without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.”"
