One night. A thousand connections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the same midsummer night when Puck works his mischief in an Athenian wood, seven other stories unfold across a realm where Shakespeare's dream bleeds into deeper magics. Through the strange logic of dreams, these tales both echo and influence the events of that famous comedy-every choice rippling across the night in ways both subtle and profound.\u003cbr\u003eA knight chooses love over transcendence at a ruined grail chapel. A mermaid's mercy saves a drowning sailor in a sea-cave that becomes cathedral. Gnomes and pixies negotiate the delicate politics of woodland governance. A village refuses to burn its accused witch when fog reveals the true shape of their fears. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn each tale, a red thread appears-binding a wrist, catching in a crown, threading through starlight. A bell rings once and is answered by seven. Three silver coins choose their own paths between worlds. What begins as separate stories becomes a single song, as characters discover that transformation and connection are the night's true magic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLyrical and luminous, Midsummer Chimes weaves myth, magic, and moral philosophy into an interconnected tapestry that honors both Shakespeare's vision and the tradition of literary fairy tales while creating something entirely new. Each story stands alone, but together they form a mandala of choice and consequence-where cups become grails and strangers become teachers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Wardle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798263199630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Jason Wardle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997117755647,"sku":"9798263199630","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/midsummer-chimes-jason-wardle-9798263199630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
