  • Smith of Wootton Major by JRR Tolkien
    Feb 3 2026

    A village with traditions, a Master Cook who makes a great cake, and the gift of Faery

    This story watches decades go by in a small town that appreciates good food and traditions. And then on a day of days, one boy unwittingly receives a great gift - a fay star.

    This is the last complete written story from the brilliant JRR Tolkien, and goes a long way in describing the indescribable.

  • Peter Pan by JM Barrie
    Jan 20 2026

    This episode is the original adventure to the Neverland—a place where make believe becomes real. And while everyone else eventually grows up, Peter Pan never does. This book was a delightful surprise as it's like the Peter Pan you've probably seen or heard about before but with so much more that adds so much to the story.
