Greymist Fair

Books

Two roads lead into a dark forest. They meet at Greymist Fair, the cobbled village hidden in the trees, a place kept alive by the families that never leave. The people of Greymist Fair know the woods are a dangerous and magical place, and to set foot off the road is to invite trouble. When Heike, the village's young tailor, discovers a murder on the road, she goes looking for the culprit. Her findings lead to more strange happenings around Greymist Fair, all based on the original, bloody, lesser-known fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. Each story, told from a different character's point of view, builds on Heike's overarching narrative, and together they examine the themes of childhood fears, growing into adult responsibilities, and finding a place to call home amidst the trials of life and death.
