Long ago, far away

So begins a strange quest in a tiny Spanish village about the sweetness and pain of living in the world, involving along the way a frog prince, an ogre and an alchemist. You will also find in these pages a kingdom brought low by monsters and the usual relationship baggage, a chilling campfire tale, a murder mystery, an exceedingly disastrous courtship between a frog and a mouse, and a nightmare with no end.

Long ago, far away brings together ten tales of murder, betrayal, bad luck and other disappointments.

Brimming with energy and inventiveness, these richly imagined stories are at turns hilarious, at turns unsettling, often playful, always captivating and never quite what you're expecting.
