Tato série se ponoří do světa fantazie, kde se tradiční pohádkové motivy obracejí naruby. Místo velkých bitev a záchrany království se zaměřuje na hrdinství v každodenním životě a v osobních vztazích. Je to vyprávění o tom, jak najít sílu a odvahu ve vlastním domově a ve vlastním životě. Příběhy jsou plné kouzla, ale s překvapivě realistickým srdcem.

[1] " ... tells the story of an isolated, abandoned castle, and the eccentric inhabitants who bring it back to life. A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil -- but about being a hero in your own home. The opening story, "The Brambly Hedge," tells the origin of the castle itself, which is abandoned by its princess in a comic twist on "Sleeping Beauty" when she rides off into the sunset with her Prince Charming. The castle becomes a refuge for misfits, outcasts, and others seeking sanctuary, playing host to a lively and colorful cast of characters that inhabits the subsequent stories, including a talking anthropomorphic horse, a mysteriously pregnant Lady on the run, and a bearded nun"--Publisher's description.
