Imagine being drawn into an original fairytale story with an interesting twist, that you just cannot put down.

Or perhaps being immediately sucked into a fairy tale world, in a little short story that weaves its own magic.

The Startled Mannequin begins as a puzzled Ellen stares into a curiosity shop window at the flame-haired mannequin on display with its startled expression.

When rain starts to fall and the owner of the shop beckons her inside, the red-headed Ellen soon realizes that his collection of curiosities all seem to have one thing in common…

Will she flee back safely into leaf-covered streets, or will curiosity lead her to the same fate as the shop's marmalade cat?

So if you are looking for an unpredictable but beautifully told fantasy short read, that has an air of mystery, authenticity and magic- then read today.
