  The Tales of Willowdean Forest: 
  A secret realm. A stolen relic. A forest on the brink of war. 
  Long before maps and kingdoms, when dragons still guarded the skies and elves walked freely beneath the trees, a single act of greed broke the peace that bound them all. Now, the balance of magic and man teeters on the edge of ruin. 
  As a firestorm gathers over the enchanted Willowdean Forest, strange heroes rise from its shadows: a talking scarecrow with a mysterious past, a clever owl who sees what others cannot, and a proud stag bound by duty and destiny. Guided by a queen whose heart hides both sorrow and fire, they must uncover a truth powerful enough to heal the realm they love—or destroy it forever. 
  Old magic is stirring. Legends are waking. And the forest is ready to choose a side. 
  Perfect for fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and Redwall, The Tales of Willowdean Forest weaves magic, myth, and adventure into an unforgettable journey. With dragons, elves, enchanted forests, and talking creatures, this vivid fantasy anthology captures the timeless struggle between greed and grace, hope and despair, loyalty and fate. Written to captivate older children, teens, and fantasy-loving adults alike, these stories are a lyrical escape into a world where dragons dominate the skies and magic reigns supreme.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  For America, as the century closes, she is becoming less isolated.  Her industrial might, her rising military power are pulling her ever closer into the entangled globe of nations.  Her authors flex ideas and lexicons with riveting tales of this astonishing society.
