Kerrin lived in the city of Sartain, and she liked it.

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: Creston and the Crown, Pt. 2
Stug’s eyes went all round, and nearly rolled down his pale cheeks at the sight of Creston putting the big jeweled hat on. It just sat on top of Creston’s head, being the type of crown that wasn’t designed to come down over the ears. “Hmmmm,” said Creston, “I guess I’ll have toContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: Creston and the Crown, Pt. 2”

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, pt. 2
Drewvia stopped and licked her lips. Then she whispered, “Here, kitty, kitty.” The tiger now stopped and licked its own lips. “Good kitty,” said Drewvia, a little more loudly. “Come on.

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Big Princess, Pt. 1
The land of Costren was a pretty nice place to live, except for the giant. There’s always something.

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Five Hairy Princesses, Pt. 2
There didn’t seem to be any walls or floor here: only darkness. King Basso didn’t like to think what might be hiding in the dark, so he walked close behind the princesses, who were shimmering just a little, just enough to be seen. “Of course,” he said to himself, “If I can’t seeContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Five Hairy Princesses, Pt. 2”
THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Five Hairy Princesses, Pt. 1
Monday Morning Breakfast was the best time of the week for Queen Azalea and King Basso. Their children slept late, no guests came to bother them, and no alarming surprises awaited.

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Boy Who Woudln’t Cry Wolf, Pt. 2
Farther down, the path was bordered by tall pink walls that had blue eagles carved into them. Jack did not like these.

THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Cry Wolf, Pt. 1
You probably recall that there was once a town that lost all its wool and mutton because the boy who was hired to tend the sheep got bored.

Naturally, the one time thereContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Cry Wolf, Pt. 1”
THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: Coffey and the Beansprouts, pt. 2
Coffey told his mother the whole story over lunch. The discussion of what the cat deserved as a reward went on all afternoon. Mistress Klotsch agreed that any cat who let them have a magic frying pan deserved something appropriate. “Why don’t you take it a jar of applesauce?” she suggested. “We haveContinue reading “THE SOUND AND THE FURRY: Coffey and the Beansprouts, pt. 2”
