We sometimes forget that fantasy didn’t start with J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings. Before Frodo and friends set off on their epic hike, there were the fantastic stories of The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and others who wrote fables about fairies and other fantastic beasts. It is in that tradition that we find Oak & Mistletoe (paperback, digital), a new fantasy novel by writer JZN McCauley.
