"Yourdon has a knack for crafting scenarios that trouble readers' senses of cause and effect -- there are no transparent morals here -- in just such a way to ensure they will immediately proceed to the next one. A wondrous collection of rarely predictable, alluringly inscrutable fables." -- Kirkus Reviews

A boy with bones made of wicker. A girl with a heart made of glass. A bride who marries a worm, a mother who gives birth to a teacup, and always watching, but rarely seen, the meddlesome "little people." This collection of sixty fables features simple souls wrestling with dark desires. In Felan's world, not everything is as it appears to be, yet some things are -- for better or worse -- exactly so.
