Ordinary life, with a bit of Village magic

Stories from the Village

Stop by the Inn on the Lake or browse the shelves at the Bookshop downtown. There’s always something worth noticing in the Village, even when the day’s plans amount to a walk to the Farmers’ Market.

These family-friendly daytime stories take place in the same Village as Nothing Much Happens. Bring them along while you make dinner or take the long way home.
