This book was initially done as a project for the course Childrens Literature whilst I was at college. Since I always loved delving into the world of the supernatural as a child, and still do as an adult, I decided to create a beautiful short story to encapsulate all the magic of the fairy tales from different parts of the world that I have ever read and seen on film. There is also mystery, fantasy, adventure, magic, and most of all, hope. I also included the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and reside. I have also always enjoyed reading about mysterious happenings taking place all over the world, along with mythical and mystical creatures that drive the imagination wild with wonder and adventure. This short story serves to envelop all these and more along with the beauty of familial connection and otherworldly adventures. Therefore, I have taken the world of supernatural fiction and the world of supernatural reality and created a fantasy short story that takes two siblings on a journey with a mysterious Witcxh into another world. A story that can be shared and enjoyed all over the globe, by both children and adults.

In the second century AD, a Greek nobleman is travelling and living abroad in Germany while carrying on an affair with a military man's wife. When discovered, he takes an emergency business trip to save his life and packs amongst his belongings certain items that lead the people he encounters to think him a Norse God, a fortuitous point of view which he does little to dispel. Forced to keep up the pretence of being a god while staying one step ahead of his lover's jealous husband, Photinus must juggle the severity of his situation with the enjoyment of being a god. Published here with its sequel, NOT FOR ALL THE GOLD IN IRELAND and companion volume MEN WENT TO CATTREATH, VOTAN is one of the highpoints of modern fantasy.

The Battle of Cattreath is one of the great unknowns of early British history. A small band of men from the 'Old North' of Britain, the Gododdin, mount an audacious assault on the Angle stronghold of Cattreath. Most of the information we have comes from a single poem, the Y GODODDIN, and it is this that inspires John James' dark, powerful and original retelling of the attack. With stark prose and powerful description, James takes an almost-forgotten story and makes it real.

The American-born founder of a prominent fashion house, Contessa Olivia Brunamonti, is mistaken for her daughter and kidnapped by a group of Sardinian shepherds. They’re holding her deep in the Tuscan hills and have demanded a huge sum for her return. Her daughter failed to report the incident for over a week, and the family’s assets have been frozen by an Italian government that forbids paying ransom. But the kidnappers can’t release their victim without being paid—it would set a bad precedent. And Guarnaccia suspects another problem: Could it be that Olivia’s children don’t want to save their mother? Is this more than just a random crime?
