About this ebook
An isolated hunting lodge sets three children against a creature tracking a forgotten jacket. Coville follows a boy guarding a carved wooden box for an angel, keeping his promise across eight decades.
The stories explore stubborn mischief in a Minnesota home where an ancient brownie invades a closet to tidy every desk. A royal palace serves as another setting when a beheaded rebel returns to counsel his king, carrying his head under his arm.
The volume gathers an elven court redeeming an ancient promise, a teenager joining a wolf pack, and a future town enforcing obedience to the flag.
