Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

As she approached the mansion towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her. TreMellyn's young daugher proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into her life.

Classic Mary Stewart
I am a life long fan of Mary Stewart. This is her at her best when it come to her exquisite descriptions of the places she is taking us to visit along with her charming characters. I always feel better at the end of her books than I did before I began and feel like I’ve seen a little more of our world. Thanks.

A Mary Stewart gem
It’s a short story and a simple one; there are significant coincidences which I would normally consider lazy writing; however, as a lifelong fan of Mary Stewart I appreciated this as a sort of miniature version of her usual novels. She dives deep into the setting and her delicious descriptions paint a gorgeous and vivid picture. There is very little plot, but for present and future Mary Stewart fans it’s a wonderful little taste of her writing.

Lovely Story!
I enjoyed this short story so much! Susie Russell did a wonderful job narrating the story. I also liked the small mention of characters from “This Rough Magic.” I do wish it was longer, I love long novels but Mary Stewart is always such a delightful storyteller! Enjoy!

Wonderful “found” novella
How lovely to be able to read a new to me Mary Stewart novella. It is not long but it is as evocative and vivid as all of her other stories.

too short
I loved this story and the narrator. I wanted it to keep on going! Classic Mary Stewart.

Wonderful Short Read
Mary Stewart is very much a hidden treasure. Her Merlin novels are wonderful, but her works of romantic fiction have not been given the praise that they should. She is as amazing a storyteller as Daphne DuMaurier and her prose is more descriptive. Almost as descriptive and harmonious as Truman Capote's short stories. I wish Audible could provide more unabridged Mary Stewart classics such as My Brother Michael, Nine Coaches Waiting, and This Rough Magic. She paints a picture that will last in your memory and I remember fondly the first time I've read her literature.
