Esta serie se sumerge en un mundo de fantasía donde los tropos tradicionales de los cuentos de hadas se ven subvertidos. En lugar de batallas épicas o el rescate de reinos, se centra en el heroísmo encontrado en la vida cotidiana y las relaciones personales. Es una narrativa sobre cómo descubrir la fuerza y el valor directamente en tu propio hogar y en tu propia vida. Las historias están llenas de magia, pero poseen un corazón sorprendentemente realista.

[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.
