Stories of Enchantment

Twelve tales from a vanished world of grace and longing. Jane Pentzer Myers wrote only this one book, and in it she built a kingdom between sleeping and waking, where wishes are real things and kindness rewrites fate. The stories follow humble seekers, the lonely, the poor, the overlooked, on journeys that lead to castles and friends and happiness. These are old rhythms: transformation, quest, reward. But Myers brings a particular tenderness to each page, a faith in small mercies that feels less like naive optimism than like deep knowing. The world she imagines is not a escape from sorrow but a answer to it. For readers who have outgrown fairy tales but still need them, this collection holds twelve doors back into that beautiful country where good wishes come true.
