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.
"Kindness, empathy, and the power of story win the day in these tales (...) A bewitching tribute to art of storytelling." — Kirkus
"With the premise of stories begetting stories offering enduring appeal, readers who enjoy gentle fantasy with many moving parts may appreciate wandering through this new collection of interconnected tales." — Booklist
"A stunning read with Whitson’s hand-drawn illustrations bringing an added layer of whimsy and good old-fashioned magic. Certain to become a treasured bedtime classic, particularly with storytellers themselves." —The Irish Examiner
Andrew Whitson is an award-winning artist, author, publisher, and Belfast native who likes to be called Mr Ando! He lives in an old house nestled on the side of a misty hill, at the edge of a magic wood, below an enchanted castle, in the shadow of a giant's nose. He first began working as a professional artist at the age of sixteen, where he painted rock band album covers onto the backs of denim jackets for a fee of £10 each, which proved lucrative at that time. Andrew has illustrated over thirty books.
