A collection of short breathtaking tales shared between Nancy and the fae of the forest. Magical, whimsical and a timeless gift. (Age 9+)
- Book Synopsis
- An archipelago of eight interconnecting stories and fables filled with the fantastical and a love of the craft of storytelling. When Nancy's cat Pangur is stolen by the Faery people, she finds herself striking a deal like no other: she is now the one-and-only storyteller for the Faery Kingdom. So starts Máire Zepf's enchanting story collection, reminiscent of fairytales and fables of past and present, but entirely new. From ghost dragons to magical hats and a dream-weaving giantess, these are tales that awaken the senses and manage to connect with each other in a way reminiscent of 1001 Arabian Nights, perfect for voracious readers and bedtime story consumers alike.
