The windfairies, and other tales

A collection of short fairy tales set in rural and coastal settings, each presenting a self-contained fable in lyrical prose. Stories feature encounters with supernatural beings, enchanted dances, and bargains that demand secrecy, with consequences that underline moral and emotional lessons. Recurring motifs include pride, fidelity, and the tension between human longing and capricious magic. Episodes shift between whimsical humor and melancholy, centering on ordinary people whose fortunes are altered by otherworldly intervention, and offering compact plots that favor irony, poetic justice, and imaginative transformations of everyday life.
