Thirty tales of broken promises, impossible visitors, clever escapes and unexpected kindness. Travel from Hamelin and Orkney through Japanese, Russian, Indian and West African tellings, ending with a Māori ancestral tradition. Each chapter follows a particular source or version; these are stories and traditions, not verified supernatural events.
