In the History of Strangers

By: Jacob Clifton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"The child fell screaming out of the stars. Across her back, like a hunter’s catch, he fell; the girl went down upon one knee in the snow and had her dagger out before she’d gotten a fair view of him... He seemed to be a boy, not yet ten. He rolled with laughter in the patches of the snow, clutching at his little belly. Hair red as sunset, cheeks ruddy in the cold. The girl stood and stared down at him as he laughed, eyes wild, and then up at the bright, hungry moon." So begins the story of Kenning Cross, a peaceful village full of wonders. Witches and their apprentices, a man who becomes a bear, a mysterious fetch from beyond the midden and more wait to greet you. A piper in love with a nixie, a widow whose house spirits serve, a magical pair of orphans... Behind every door in Kenning Cross lies a story. Come and find them.
