the Kingdom

Stories and poems from across the wider Tiny Kingdom, where friendship, encounters in nature and the wonder of ordinary days all have a place.

• The Star in the Northern Field

  A few days later, the young doe returned to the Northern Field with Prince Dingus beside her.

• Where Words End

  The young doe had come from far away. She was curious about every path she had never taken, and one day that curiosity had simply carried her off.

• The Return to the Sea

  Donder had a way of giving himself completely to joy. When he loved something, there was no mistaking it.

• The Princes and the Squirrel

  All day the red squirrel talked to herself, softly but without stopping. Not enough acorns. Winter will come early. I'm never ready.

• The storm

  Outside the storm rages, and the sky is charcoal grey.

• The Turtle Under the Bush

  In the Tiny Kingdom, everyone was busy preparing for Christmas. For days there had been planning, rearranging and thinking ahead.

• The Yellow Brick Road

  It was a cold day by the sea, but that had never stopped the royal family from going there.
