Stories from the Woods and Wild Places Jason Buck

A new collection of fairy tales for adults, drawing on traditional favourites and new ideas, these are original stories from places where the trees grow tall and dark, the dead lie uneasy, the water is bottomless, the snow has started to fall and you should never ... ever ... stray from the path. Written and illustrated by Jason Buck, storyteller and performer, this collection was first written for telling aloud and have all been performed to live audiences. The Loom: Two children hope to find shelter in a crooked cottage in the woods but end up staying longer than they expected Anastasia: A little girl gets lost in the winter forest. Can the being from another worlds save her before the cold bites? The Lost Lady of the Pines: An avenging ghost in the depths of the quiet pines The Toad's Tale: Someone's worth cannot always be judged by how beautiful they may be The Kelpie's Bridle: A drowned man and his lover's adventure to rescue him
