An Epic Fantasy Fairy Tale for Adults. Filled with Adventure and Romance.

Step back in time to the late 1800s, where the mystical lands of Dartmoor serve as the backdrop for a tale of magic, mischief, and democracy. Meet Snuffle Weed, a cantankerous goblin with a greedy thirst for water that knows no bounds, much to the chagrin of the local water sprites. Enter the Loving family, residents of the grand Manor, who decide it’s high time for a little diplomacy. Together with the sprites, they establish a council aimed at resolving their water woes in a fair and democratic manner. But the road to diplomacy isn’t smooth. Before the council can successfully convene, they must first navigate a series of confrontations that pit the forces of nature against each other in spectacular fashion. Journey through a world where the elements themselves take sides, and discover how even the most unlikely characters can find a way to come together for the greater good. It’s a tale of family, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of community set against the enchanting backdrop of 19th-century Dartmoor.

ÊMORE than a thousand years have rolled away since a castle looked down cheerfully from a height amid the Franconian plains into the well-watered Kinzig Valley, with its pleasant villages and towns. It belonged to the powerful Swabian duke Frederick of Hohenstaufen, whose young and valiant son loved this the best of all his father's proud castles, and often left his uncle's splendid palace to hunt in its forests, or to look down from its lofty oriel window on the blooming plain below. His father and uncle indeed missed him sadly. His clear blue eye, and the cheerful expression of his noble countenance, seemed to the two grave and war-weary men so gladdening to look upon, that they were always unwilling to let him leave them. But the young Frederick used to beg them so earnestly to grant him the freedom of the forest for just this once, that father and uncle smilingly granted him permission, though "this once" was often repeated. So it happened the autumn of that year when Bernard of Clairvaux passed through Germany, calling prince and people in words of burning eloquence to aid in the deliverance of the Holy Sepulchre. "Just this once!" said young Frederick again; and King Conrad and Duke Frederick granted him permission. As he bent in courteous farewell to take his uncle's hand, the king whispered, "Be ready, my Frederick, to return as soon as my messenger calls thee. Great things are before us, and I can ill spare thy strong right arm!" And young Frederick smiled his own cheery smile, and answered, "I come when my king and lord calls!"Ê

One spring day, the little Water Sprite is born in a house of reeds at the bottom of a mill pond. Duckweed soup, pickled water fleas, and other dainties are served to celebrate.

There is a whole new world to see outside his living room, and the little Water Sprite is determined to explore it! In the pond he makes friends with Cyprian the carp and encounters the fearsome nine-eyed lamprey, but his most thrilling adventures await him on dry land.
