“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon our hearts, as for that subtle something… that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”
- Robert Louis Stevenson
There’s a presence in the forest - vast and ancient - that reminds us who we are. The hush beneath towering trees. The dappled light that shifts like breath. The grounding scent of earth and moss and mystery.
Forest Queen was born of that sacred stillness. Bound in earthy, natural brown leather, and filled with exquisitely textured handmade papers, it feels like stepping into a clearing meant just for you - where the noise of the world falls away and truth begins to speak.
Each page is like a forest floor: open, fertile, waiting. For your reflections. Your dreams. Your quiet knowing and musings.
Whether you walk the woods daily or carry its memory in your soul, this Storyteller is a companion for refuge, reverence, and deep renewal

Handmade Lokta Paper
Beautiful handmade lokta paper from Nepal is one of the primary papers used in Hypatia Storytellers.
Lokta is produced using bark from the daphne shrub, a cousin to the laurel and the rhododendron. Lokta is very eco-friendly, as the plant regenerates quickly and is one of the few under-utilized plant resources in the world.
Each lokta sheet is made by hand and celebrates its “wabi sabi” beauty. Delightful to write, paint and glue on, it is incredibly strong and flexible.
All of the handmade pages of the Hypatia Storytellers can also be used, in addition to the archival plain page soft white paper in between each decorative sheet!
Natural Raw Leather
Forest Queen Storyteller is bound into an earthy natural leather that is full of character with an aged, rustic, one-of-a-kind look and distinctive pull-up.
Natural leather develops a rich patina over time and may darken, soften, and develop color variations.
Each scratch, scuff, and crease tells a story, adding depth and personality to the leather’s surface.
When desired or needed, “Leather CPR” (easily purchased through Amazon) can be massaged into the leather to restore its moisture and erase scratches.
