Jim Webster

More tales from Jim's imaginary Land of the Three Seas. These are light amusing and invariably wise.


Tallis Steelyard. The Festival and other stories

My review -


Another selection of tales from Port Naain, as told by jobbing poet Tallis Steelyard. Read about the underpinnings of dancing matrons, the secret beneath the undergarments of a gentlewoman of the town, the resurrection of a dead mercenary, and much more. This is a gentle comedy of manners in a world so different from our own. The author writes affectionately of his world and his characters, and I share that affection. Lovely stuff.
