The Magical Secret of the crystal kingdom
The book that brought our message to life
At the heart of The Crystal Kingdom Social Enterprise CIC is a story — one that began as a children’s fantasy novel and grew into something much bigger.
Written by our founder Paul Nicholls, The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom is more than just a book. It’s a spark of imagination, a tool for self-belief, and a foundational part of why we do what we do today.
A Magical Journey with a Powerful Message
The story follows a group of children who stumble upon a mysterious cave and a set of buried crystals — and are transported to a strange new world full of wonder and transformation.
In the Crystal Kingdom, anything is possible. The children are transformed into unicorns, dragons, and horses, and they soon realise that the real magic lies not in what they become — but in what they discover about themselves.
Packed with excitement, humour, and fantasy, the book is also gently rooted in deeper themes of emotional resilience, imagination, and the power of believing in yourself. It promotes positive coping mechanisms for life’s challenges, helping children understand that it’s okay to feel, to struggle, and to rise again.
“Have you ever been transformed into a horse, a unicorn, or even a dragon? Have you ever been transported to a strange new world? Well, let me tell you, it’s AMAZING!”
Why It Matters
The Magical Secret of the Crystal Kingdom was inspired by Paul’s own children, written during a difficult chapter of his life. As the story took shape, so did the mission: to help young people realise their worth, build resilience, and grow up with a sense of hope and magic.
This book became the very foundation of The Crystal Kingdom Social Enterprise CIC — shaping many of the workshops, values and messages we now deliver to schools, families, and communities across the UK.
