Synopsis

Venture into the untamed imaginations of the American Indians, Australians, and Africans in this distinct volume of folklore. The stories depart from the European castle-and-king motifs to explore the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Trickster animals, shapeshifters, and elemental spirits dominate the narratives, offering a glimpse into the diverse cosmologies of indigenous peoples. It is a celebration of the oral traditions that explain the mysteries of the wild.

    If it walks like a dragon shifter and it talks like a dragon shifter. . . but it can’t shift? What then? 
    The entire country rejoiced when, out of a golden egg, Roxana Goldenscales hatched. It’s not every day (or even every decade) that a dragona princess graces the earth with her presence. But like most rare, valuable, and defenseless things, every moment of Roxana’s existence is supervised, planned, and observed. 
    Or at least, they were. 
    Until she ran away. 
    Her decision to flee from her gilded pedestal wasn’t an easy one, and nothing’s gone quite right since. Her love life’s confusing, her closet’s cramped (and a little smelly), and her useless, ornamental dragon scales itch constantly. But after finding a group of misfit friends who support her, Roxana’s making a life for herself—one that she chooses. 
    As usual, the rest of the world has other ideas. 
    The Manhattan werewolves, the demon-spawn leaders, and Roxana’s powerful parents all want her to go back home double quick. Can a helpless princess find the strength to stand on her own? Or will the danger for her friends be so steep that she’s swept right back into the very cage she fled? 
    A humorous cozy fantasy you won't want to miss with a found family you'll want to join yourself.

    A reputedly wealthy and eccentric old man dies in Vermont. His home, the House of a Thousand Candles, so called for the owner's preference to candle light, is left empty save a faithful servant -- his fortune mysteriously vanished, though rumored to still have been hidden in the house somewhere. John Glenarm, the late old man's grandson, stands to inherit the estate (and so the secret fortune) under the stipulation that he live in the house for one year. If he fails, the house will be forfeited and awarded to Marian Devereaux, the niece of the nun who operates the nearby Saint Agatha's School for girls. Mister Pickering, the executor of the estate and childhood rival of John's, decides to find the hidden treasure before young Glenarm does.

    Heartwarming and nostalgic new Saga series from the author of Mother’s Day on Coronation Street.  
    It’s 1940 and for the Lancashire town of Greenhill, everything is about to change… 
    Local schoolteacher Violet Pegg is surprised to get a letter out of the blue. Her Canadian pen-friend, Daniel, will soon be joining the RAF and be stationed close by. Violet hopes their long-distant friendship is about to become something more. 
    Vicky Buckley, the town postmistress, has recently married the local doctor, but she is shocked when an unexpected visitor turns up on her doorstep. 
    Claire Gold works with her aunt, Sylvia, in the haberdashery shop. When Violet asks her for a favour, it sets off a chain of events that will threaten their friendship. 
    With the dark clouds of conflict looming, will it be love, and not war, that Greenhill must contend with? 
    Praise for Maggie Sullivan: 
    ‘A lovely, nostalgic choice read’ Choice Magazine 
    ‘Perfect’ Woman 
    The historical backdrop of World War II adds a layer of depth to the rural romance that unfolds in the small town of Greenhill. The military presence, coupled with the sagas of personal relationships, paints a vivid picture of life in the 20th century. 
    For fans of Jean Grainger (What Once Was True), Fenella J Miller (Wartime Arrivals at Harbour House), Maisie Thomas (Hope for the Railway Girls), Tilly Tennant (A Secret for the Lifeboat Sisters), and Elaine Everest (The Teashop Girls at War).
