Lucky Penny

When life seems bland or boring, when routine becomes rut and mires our day, perhaps it's time to let a bit of childlike magic into our lives. To see the sprinkle of snow on the coats in our wardrobe or the fairy rings in our gardens. If we look closely, we can still find glimmers of magic shining just around the corner, waiting to be discovered. The short stories in this collection invite our imaginations to wander and wonder “what if?”
