Step into the muddy lanes and smoky cottages of Puddlebury-on-the-Wold, a stubborn little medieval village full of goats with too much confidence, children with too much energy, and a world that leans as much as it laughs.

This long, slow, candlelit story follows a single day from the misty morning crow of a very rude rooster to the soft, starry hush of night. Along the way you’ll meet Mildred, Old Tom, a traveling merchant with pockets full of strange treasures, and, of course, Reginald the goat — who is quite sure the entire place belongs to him.

It’s a gentle and humorous bedtime journey into the ordinary magic of medieval life, told like a sleepy tavern tale, full of gossip, mud, weird meals, odd habits, and a little bit of hope. Perfect for drifting off with a smile.
