The Little Dog and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781911761440)

At The Red Grouse Inn, stories are told, remembered, questioned, and passed on.

In The Little Dog and Other Stories, Leslie Garland brings together four linked rural tales in which folklore, faith, memory, and the supernatural meet in unexpected ways. Set against the atmosphere of the British countryside, these modern fables move between the ordinary and the uncanny, asking what may lie beneath familiar places, familiar lives, and familiar beliefs.

A small white dog waits by the roadside, but why?

An orphan crow changes the life of a troubled boy.

A golden tup becomes the focus of fear and unease.

A white hart draws the living towards mystery, memory, and old legend.

Reflective, atmospheric, and quietly unsettling, The Little Dog and Other Stories is a collection of rural supernatural tales shaped by moral questions, and the lingering uncertainty of things not fully explained.
