Great little read! Thanks for sharing. I've long said that we need more fantasy bard characters, so I hope this one is recurring.

Oh, you need to check out Tales and Treasure by Rob Mortell! The bard is the main guy. Also, it’s an indie book.

Thanks Ian. I like my bard. The last time I took him out for a spin was Five Skeins A-Spinning. Nice to have him back.

This is one of your best fairytales yet - which is saying something, because they're all great. Hopefully soon enough you'll have enough to justify a book...

♥ Thank you Lyndsey. This one had been sitting in the maybe pile for a while because it wasn’t quite ready. I added the bard this week and thought yeahhh, let’s go with it. Glad it was enjoyed by others.

🥰 Thank you, Liz. This one had been tweaked and trimmed several times, so I glad it paid off.

Hanna, "Munin Hazelmane" is a delightful fairy tale. It has the trappings of many classic fairy tales, but you've given it your own unique twist and originality. A wonderful read. Thank you.

Thank you very much. This one was originally just about Munin without the bard’s bits, but I liked adding him.
