Publisher's Summary

Four original folktale-style stories based on the old English counting rhyme.

The tinker is drawn to a mysterious pool. He half-remembers he once loved a princess. When she appears by the water, he learns they have 14 days to lift a curse or lose each other forever.

The tailor has a 21st-century mindset and a 14th-century problem. Goblins have stolen his baby daughter and left a changeling. The goblin king sets three tasks to be completed by the next full moon. There’s a win-win solution if the tailor can find it.

Two Vikings fleeing relentless pursuers, enter the strange garden of Mistress Gefn. They are set the task of rebuilding a wall. They wonder if they can leave. There are two exits.

The sailor’s wife died in childbirth, and he is unable to love his daughter. The moor-folk steal uncared-for children. When his daughter disappears, he tracks her down to the Isle of the Sea Queen where he is presented with a life-or-death choice.

Loved it

I enjoyed curling up in bed each night, popping my earphones in and listening to a new story.

Each tale was unique and one of them was quite chilling. Not in a horror type way, but the entire time I was wondering what was truly happening. It was written so well. If you like folklore type tales with original storytelling and great writing, then this is for you.
