    Tales From the Wood: A Modern Fairytale

    Written by R.A. Johnson

    Narrated by Naomi Mayo

    About this audiobook

    Cindy is shocked to learn that she may inherit a fortune from her estranged grandfather, but it comes with a catch—she must listen to her grandfather’s favorite record. That simple act propels her into a world of myth, magic, and music. Guided by Jack, the Green Man of myth, and the tree spirit, Auntie Hemlock, Cindy joins a troupe of traveling minstrels: a handsome singer, a bard, a dancer, a teamster, and a silent flute player. They are sexy and mysterious and fun, but also dangerous. Can she trust them? Will they help her find her way back home? Or will she get lost in their world, losing her Way until going back and going home are not the same?


    Based on the Jethro Tull album Songs from the Wood, this book, Tales from the Wood, weaves the songs’ themes from that iconic prog-rock album into a modern portal fairy tale of love and lust, trust and betrayal, revenge and redemption; all while our heroine tries to find her Way by following her heart.


    Well-written folklore references in an engaging modern fairy tale.  — Ian Anderson August 2022
