Tangled Tales

An enchanting anthology of short tales from the bestselling author of House of Werth and Modern Magick, spanning new worlds, new flights of fancy, and a new cast of quirky, memorable characters to fall in love with.

From the gaslit streets of late 19^th century Brighton, to the wind-tossed Yorkshire coast; from the plague-ridden English midlands to the dark streets of modern cities; from the strangely charming town of Hexborough to the dream-laced Silverglen; these ten stories will take you on a whirlwind tour from familiar worlds reinvented to new places wholly imagined.

A Rationally-dressed Brighton coven contends with a freak storm's effects upon their city's beloved pier.

A daring thief attempts an impossible heist upon a legendary wizard's tower, with surprising outcomes.

A long-suffering and highly unusual butler solves the mystery of his employer's spectacular demise.

An airy cloud-garden wreathed in mists grows rarefied teas - and hatches a priceless drake's egg.

The weary queen of a faerie kingdom receives succour from a down-to-earth dame and her clever son.

All these and more - each story a fresh, shining nugget of vivid fantasy, laced with Charlotte E. English's signature wit, warmth, and charm.
