A Brugel Fairytale Treasury - Ebony McKenna

From the fantastic world of Brugel comes this fairytale collection of folklore. Every tale is both refreshing and yet comfortingly familiar. The First Champion Snowgoat will delight and ultimately confuse - setting the scene for the bizarre and particularly Brugelish folklore to follow.  Jacqueline and the Magic Beans - who brought the wonders of coffee to Eastern Europe. Wilona at the Christmas Ball - who almost met Cinderella but became distracted with a younger and more interesting princeling. Elmaree - who etymologists credit with the local idioms, 'burn your bridges' and 'flee like Elmaree'. Plus many more stories to delight, discombobulate and possibly entertain. This book is a welcome companion to the internationally acclaimed four-part Ondine series, by the same author.  Lovers of The Princess Bride will adore these tales.
