When Biddy, a reclusive soothsayer, breaks one of her only two teacups, she sends her young apprentice Thalia into Elowenwald to find another.
It should be a simple errand.
Unfortunately, the forest has other ideas.
There are opinions at the Hedge, questionable information from Magpie, practical advice from Badger, a Toad who doesn’t believe in fairy tales, and a Tea Set who appears to be several teacups short of a full set.
Thalia only wants to find a cup and go home.
Instead, she finds herself returning with rather more than she went looking for.
“Tea With Squirrels” is a small, quirky story about finding your way through a world where everyone seems to know something.
