When Maring and her brother Seri, along with their friend Del, watch nine white foxes playing on the barrens, they know the must be careful.

Once, Lir Skavinson could fly, and it lost him his beloved. Now he's just a simple fisherman again, but he remembers having wings. And Maveen is a "perilous child," destined to become a shaman. But she can't hear the spirits. Two Tales of Frisland includes two short stories: "Remembering to Fly" and "Perilous Child."

These three short stories were each inspired--in very different ways--by the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. In "The Promise of Roses," the son of a woolen mill owner sets out every morning with a shovel and a bag of salt to destroy the roses threatening to snag the fleeces of his father's sheep....

"Fox Point Dragon" is a fantasy short story for children and the young at heart, or for anyone who has ever dreamed of meeting a dragon in the forest.

Teska and Del have never been very far from their fishing village home, but one day Teska's father shows them a huge reindeer hide and tells them a story about a trader's encounter with a man who could turn into a reindeer. Then nothing can keep Teska from setting out to find the reindeer people,...

When a fisherman dies at sea and washes up later, it's often only the pattern of the knit of his sweater that tells people which village to send the body to. But the people of Cobbleshore also believe that their knit contains magic--magic to save a person's soul from the dreaded Sea King. When Torin is swept overboard by a wave, he wishes he hadn't left his sweater behind.

Brenna was named for a shape-shifting bird goddess, so when her beloved expresses a longing to fly, turning her herbwoman skills to creating a pair of magic wings doesn't seem like such a stretch. But she never thought that setting Lir free would break her heart.

Treasures often wash up on the beach after a big storm, but Torin and Andry Danickson weren't expecting a perfectly-tanned sealskin caught on a piece of driftwood, and they certainly weren't expecting the naked girl who appeared, asking for the skin back. Sealskin is a fantasy short story based on old folklore.

When Torin Danickson is swept overboard while out fishing, he knows he will drown and lose his soul to the Sea King. There is a soul-saving magic knit into the sweaters of his home village, but the day was hot, and Torin was not wearing his sweater. What he doesn't know is that the seal woman he once...

It is the time of year when once wild things become wild again, still wild things become wilder, and civilized things shut their doors and pretend they had never been wild. During the season of madness, the kentaurs of the Pelion foothills—those half-horse, half-human creatures that humans...

When Lir returns to Cobbleshore after many years away, he finds it much the same as when he left. Some people are gone, and some grown up, and there are new children, new houses, and new boats. There is also a hermit on Great Skerry, a tiny island up the coast that was previously only home...

It is the summer of 1941, and fifteen-year-old Morgan Reilly has just moved to Newfoundland from New York to be with her father, an officer in the US Army stationed in St. John’s. Morgan adores fairies and has a collection of Victorian children’s books, so when she meets John O’Brien, nephew...
