The Early Days

This short story explains the origins of two small elven brothers: Maxwell and Skippy.

Find out about the tragic event that caused their parents to pass onto The Thousand and then how the young brothers found themselves in the care of the friendly Cardinal Snowfield, Bishop Delaney and Father Mosely at their church of St. Nicholas-on-the-Dell.

This ebook provides the background to a series of short stories called "The Elven Adventures" and introduces the main characters. In these tales, the reader is taken through a succession of adventures and quests (through the eyes of these two young brothers) and is introduced to some of the strange friends that they meet on their travels. An element of humour and a love of all things natural are maintained in many of these stories. However, the main central theme in all of these stories of the series is the bond that exists between the two young characters and how their enduring friendship helps them to overcome the difficulties that they often face together.

This story is beautifully illustrated with numerous magical images, composed by Skippy Beresford.
