Tales from Fiddler's Green 1

Storytellers and magicians have always had much in common. Their words and gestures draw us in, pulling at the threads of everyday reality and setting the most impossible of dreams before us, daring us to believe they are true.

In our first collection of short fiction and poetry, Fiddler's Green presents seventeen tales bound to spark such wonder. The Storytellers gathered here ask only for your trust. Fall under the spell of their words and you may find yourself enlightened, invigorated, heartbroken, inspired, or a mingled combination of them all. Because at its heart the promise of the storyteller is the same as that of the magician: Believe in what I show you and you cannot help but be changed.

Introduction by series editor Susan Redington Bobby and a foreword from Clint Marsh. Published in spring 2021 by Fiddler’s Green.
