Book Description
"He played his fiddle in the woods as well as in the open glades. His work in the forest took him deeper and deeper each day away from the hut till one day he said to himself “Why do I walk so far each day I’ll build myself a hut nearer to my work.” And so deep in the forest he built himself a grand hut snug and warm. When he left the old hut he said to the house elves “follow me and the cow, and you shall live well, for this house will soon grow cold, I’ll not remain here.”

THE HARPER’S ESCAPE— A sad, mystical tale of a harper fleeing for her life in Elizabethan Ireland. THE QUIET GIFT—Set in the Collegium of Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar, a young woman with Bardic Talent must learn to accept her gift as it is, not how she wishes it might be.
