Not so long ago, nomadic communities in Scotland told stories around camp fires and slept in bow tents made of hazel and canvas. In this book, their culture is introduced through Cant's vocabulary, a dialect spoken by Scottish travellers. Following them, Serendipity takes you to Helge's Hole in Forres, Hermitage Forest in Dunkeld, and Glen Lyon in Perth, meandering through the valleys and cragged peaks of the Scottish Highlands, in a quest for Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Dive into Scottish culture as the old grandmother, Julia, recounts to her granddaughter Gaia the tale of a little girl of pure heart. With love for nature, the story takes us to Titania's court, the Queen of the People of Peace, to defeat the Giants of the Underworld and restore balance to the Land of the Young.

Maria is also deeply interested in regenerative agriculture, organic food, gardens and forests.

Reviews
'Serendipity is a beautiful trans-generational story between Gaia and her grandmother. This book is not only a point of view of hope about human relationships but above all a bridge between different people who not so far from each other.' - Jeanine Augier, Ingenieur QSE
