Praise
"This collection provides the reader entry into twelve unique worlds. While all the tales are whimsical, and most magical, the forces at play run from(a bit) dangerous to delightful. Settle in with a cup of Clangsy’s chamomile tea and meet a fairy in need of wings, a games obsessed nobleman, a so-so witch, the delightfully named Mrs. Spittleberg, a multitude of green fellows, and many more unusual folk. If folk is what they may be? A treat is in store."
