Time to revel in the fantasy, indulge our inner child, and the mythical gods! Time to unleash the wrath and the awe of the beasts we have read about from our childhood, and that we wish were not just metaphorical in our adulthood.

This book is meant for young and old alike, much like the fairy tales of old. Stevie Flood is a Maltese author, normally known for her love and life poetry on Instagram, but she also has a unique gift for placing her favorite stories into rhyme.

Flood, Stevie: - "Residing on the beautiful Maltese Islands, Stevie Flood has captivated most of her magnificent essence in writing, by the attention of no other than the landscapes alone. Seasonal changes on the island bring out her colourful pieces of ink to light.At the ripe old age of four, Stevie began her literacy journey. Very special thanks to her father, Peter Flood, who always encouraged her on a whole other level - to be inspired by the outside world around her, and detail it to its very core of how magnificent ink could be, if it is described down to the very last drop of ink, in her mind only then the story will be complete. Making her life as full as can be, these fine pieces of ink were motivated by unfortunate events, and now slowly shimmering memories remain of the man she writes her pieces to.
