The Ordinary Farm Adventures series is Tad Williams’ foray into children’s fiction. Written with Deborah Beale, the books follow two kids named Tyler and Lucinda who visit their great-uncle Gideon’s farm and discover that it is home to dragons, unicorns, and other creatures from myth. The Dragons of Ordinary Farm introduced the premise in 2009, and The Secrets of Ordinary Farm continued the story in 2011.
The series has been published in several languages, including Polish (Smoki ze Zwyczajnej Farmy) and German (Die Geheimnisse der Tinkerfarm). It is a lighter, faster read than Williams’ adult work, but it still has his trademark worldbuilding and sense of wonder. Readers who grew up on his epic fantasies have found these books to be a good way to introduce younger readers to his imagination.
