Ep 93 - The Daisy Who Longed for Winter — A Mossvale Folktale

In the hedgerows of Mossvale, the hedgerow fairy Violet keeps a daisy named Deloris company through the last of the autumn rain. Deloris has heard every description Violet can give her of winter's frost, its icicles, its lace-spun cobwebs, but as an oxeye daisy, she'll never see a single one of them herself. When Violet brings a curious little snow globe to Edith, the ancient wise woman of the Wild Moors, an old magic offers Deloris one borrowed hour inside a winter that was never meant to be hers, and she comes back wanting a whole season of it.A folklore story about longing for the lives we weren't given, and the quiet work of learning to love the season we're actually in. Part of the Mossvale story world, rooted in British folklore, hedgerow magic, and the turning year. 🌿 Buy my debut book Through the Hedge: Tales from Mossvale here on amazon  ✨  The Storywood: Audio Hub is where you'll find an ever growing collection of my stories, musings, poems, and meditations.  📖 Prefer to read?
