Feathers Hooves and a Clever Lass - An Enchanting Tale of Curses Chaos and Cleverness

Poppy Oddwood

Sinopsis

When stealing from a wizard goes magically wrong, the real adventure begins.

Molly thought it would be simple: steal a magical thread from Wulfram the Weaver and disappear before anyone noticed. What she didn't count on was accidentally stumbling into an enchanted forest clearing and getting magically bound to two of the most unlikely companions imaginable.

Meet Corvid, a kleptomaniac crow who "collects" shiny objects with theatrical flair and has strong opinions about proper treasure management. Then there's Gruffy, a hypochondriac goat convinced that everything in the world is trying to contaminate him—and who's usually right about the danger.

Now cursed together until they complete an impossible task, this mismatched trio must infiltrate a giant's lair and steal a powerful ring. But between Corvid's compulsive pilfering, Gruffy's obsessive hygiene concerns, and Molly's growing suspicion that she's gotten in way over her head, their "simple" heist becomes a comedy of errors that will test their patience, their courage, and their unexpected friendship.

From talking doorknobs with attitude problems to carnivorous treasure chests, from riddle-speaking squirrels to a very angry giant with poor dental hygiene, every step of their journey is filled with magical mayhem and laugh-out-loud moments.

But when the quest reveals that the greatest treasure isn't always gold, Molly discovers that sometimes the best heists are the ones that steal your heart.

Perfect for readers who love:

Humorous fantasy with heart

Unlikely friendships and found family

Fairy tale retellings with a twist

Quick, engaging reads with emotional depth

"The truest treasures are rarely the ones we seek."

My Mess Is a Bit of a Life -...

Georgia Pritchett

“Georgia Pritchett is a singularly hilarious person. Her book is a delightful and perfect reflection of her. Its tenderness sneaks up on you and really packs a punch. What a magnificent read!”—Julia Louis Dreyfus
Jenny Lawson meets Nora Ephron in this joyful memoir-in-vignettes on living—and thriving—with anxiety from a multiple Emmy Award-winning comedy writer whose credits include Succession and Veep.
When Georgia Pritchett found herself lost for words—a bit of a predicament for a comedy writer—she turned to a therapist, who suggested she try writing down some of the things that worried her. But instead of a grocery list of concerns, Georgia wrote this book.
A natural born worrywart, Georgia’s life has been defined by her quirky anxiety. During childhood, she was agitated about the monsters under her bed (Were they comfy enough?). Going into labor, she fretted about making a fuss (“Sorry to interrupt, but the baby is coming out of my body,” I said politely). Winning a prestigious award, she agonized over receiving free gifts after the ceremony (It was an excruciating experience. Mortifying).
Soul-baring yet lighthearted, poignant yet written with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life is a tour through the carnival funhouse of Georgia’s life, from her anxiety-ridden early childhood where disaster loomed around every corner (When I was little I used to think that sheep were clouds that had fallen to earth. On cloudy days I used to worry that I would be squashed by a sheep), through the challenges of breaking into an industry dominated by male writers, to the exquisite terror (and incomparable joy) of raising children.
Delightfully offbeat, painfully honest, full of surprising wonders, and delivering plenty of hilarious, laugh-out-loud moments, My Mess Is a Bit of a Life reveals a talented, vulnerable, and strong woman in all her wisecracking weirdness, and makes us love it—and her—too.
