Title: Put the hobbits down and back away slowly
Review: As a reader, I find it very nice to come across fantasy that isn't all about the end of the world, earth-shattering quests, and ancient evils come back from the dawn of time to take care of unfinished business. And that's what you get from these stories, small tales of fantasy that are just as engaging as those painted on a much broader canvas. Yes, you get bogies and Fair Folk and other creatures out of legend, but you also get deft interpersonal touches in the relationships between Conor, his wife Eithne, and their adopted son, and that's what breathes life into these stories. There's more here to enjoy than magic.
