About this ebook
The Otherworld is where the Fae exist. These are the Fae of folk tales. They include many forms of fairy ranging from beautiful human looking beings to less than pretty changelings. This collection is a contemplation on meetings between us and them based on what is told in old tales. It consists of short stories and poems from a number of different stand points.
Included are a few of poems on the meaning of magic and of dreams.
It may not always be clear who is speaking on first read but stick at it and maybe things will become clearer as you go.

I'm Tony and I used to write when I was young and then life got in the way. Let's hope it's not too late to make some impression with what I write. I'm not giving up this time round that's for sure but I may take breaks :)I'm not much into social media so don't expect any guff from me. I'm bit of a recluse living in a forest in South Wales with a very variable mobile phone connection.

Foreword
I believe these writings are the result of being a writer living on the border to the Otherland.
What is this Otherland?
You may know this already, maybe as a memory from childhood, something from the edge of sleep.
This work is something of a collection of observations, reflections and recollections surrounding old folk tales and beyond. Maybe think of them as musings and conversations with things half forgotten and half remembered. It is, in part, made up of different voices giving their opinions or reacting to events. There will not be a beginning and
