The seven tales of Trinket

"Guided by a tattered map, accompanied by Thomas the Pig Boy, and inspired by the storyteller's blood that thrums through her veins, eleven-year-old Trinket searches for the seven stories she needs to become a bard like her father, who disappeared years before. She befriends a fortune-telling gypsy girl, returns a child stolen by the selkies to his true mother, confronts a banshee and receives a message from a ghost, helps a village girl outwit--and out-dance--the Faerie Queen, travels beyond the grave to battle a dastardly undead Highwayman, and meets a hound so loyal he fights a wolf to the death to protect the baby prince left in his charge. All fine material for six tales--but it is the seventh tale, in which Trinket learns her father's true fate, that changes her life forever"--
