Listen! Can you hear the story that begins with a storm? It arrives with a crack of lightning before stepping down from a harvest moon.
Find yourself at home; hold a warm drink, sit by a bright hearth. Will you travel the branches of the world tree with me?
The Keeper of the Lighthouse
The Lighthouse Stories are a series of tales only connected by a mysterious narrator who has an intimate knowledge of the Lighthouse at the Edge of the Universe.
Some of these stories feature the lighthouse, and some have nothing to do with the lighthouse at all.
Some of these stories are silly, and some of these stories are serious.
But no matter where or when or what these stories are, each explores life, the universe and all that exists therein.
Will you step through the door, step into the woods and step into the stars above? If you do, be ready for adventure.
Look out for a new Lighthouse Story every other Sunday!
