This is a lovely short story for all ages. It really does read like the myths you would read as a child with an overall moral to the story. The descriptions are vivid with a lyrical quality and really pull you into the story. While there were a few places that seemed a little redundant to me that is my only small critique. Overall the author skillfully paints a picture with this tale. It’s worth reading and I hope to see more from this author. ( )
