The stories

• Mrs Bridport’s Little Problem (Or, The Devil in the Rose Bush): a widow, a rose bush with opinions, and a husband who kept secrets

• The Goblin and the Knight: very short, very silly, and a deeply unromantic gift

• The Witch’s Tinderbox: Andersen’s classic tale, told by the witch, who is not happy about how it went

• Zachary and the Pumpkin Men: a small boy, a classroom of carved pumpkins, and a dread that won’t go away

• The Tide: no monsters, no magic, just a family day at the beach and a tide that comes in too fast

Good to know
Every story has a short note under its title saying what to expect. Across the collection that includes grief, a death, children in danger, strong language and some gore.
