Full Description
World Fantasy, Locus, and Aurealis Award finalist
A fabulous debut of folk tales and fantasies by an award-winning author and illustrator.
Small fires start in the hearts of Kathleen Jennings's characters and irresistibly spread to those around them. Journeys are taken, debts repaid, disguises put on, and lessons offered — although not often learned — in these fantastic tales. Jennings's confident voice lulls readers into stepping off the known paths to find "Undine Love," "The Heart of Owl Abbas," and further unexpected places and people.
