  Prince Stepan Kasatsky experiences a disappointment with his fiancé and decides to become a monk! There is a story line, but beneath it, Father Sergius struggles to find peace and, if not happiness, then at least contentment. But he is always disillusioned and ultimately unsatisfied. Only in the end does he find his way by letting go of what he struggled to attain all his life, i.e. to be better than everyone else in whatever he did, and settle for the mundane. (Summary by JCarson)

  Girls who wander into the forest at night never return quite the same... 
  When a peasant girl follows glowing mushrooms into the forbidden forest, she discovers the witch waiting in the cave wears her own face—and the mad queen in the castle does too. 
  In a kingdom gripped by famine, young Carys has always been the wild child her mother couldn't tame. But when mysterious mushrooms begin to glow at her touch and lead her deep into the forest, she stumbles into an impossible truth: she is the witch, she will become the queen, and time itself has trapped her in an endless cycle. 
  As Carys learns to see the hidden threads connecting past, future, and the secret stores of food that could save her starving family, she must choose between remaining the girl she was or becoming the powerful, feared woman she's destined to be. But in a story where the ending is also the beginning, can she find a way to break free—or is she doomed to walk the same path forever? 
  Perfect for fans of Alix E. Harrow and Naomi Novik, A Girl Made of Time is a lyrical, genre-bending tale of magic, sacrifice, and the impossible weight of living three lives at once.

  William Cuthbert Faulkner was born on the 25th September 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi. 
  Faulkner never graduated from high school and also dropped out of the University of Mississippi.  Despite this seeming lack of application, he would go on to become one of the literary leviathans of American Modernism.  He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949 as well as two Pulitizer prizes and was a prolific Hollywood screenwriter.   
  With classics such as ‘The Sound and the Fury’ and ‘As I Lay Dying’, together with his complex sentence structures his work with Southern Gothic remains an enduring legacy. 
  William Faulkner died on the 6th July 1962 in Byhalia, Mississippi.  He was 64.

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
