  What does it mean to be gifted? Is this to do with a present being wrapped up and handed to another?   Does one person sacrifice something to help someone else? Or is to do with having a certain talent? Is that gift always welcome? Does the protagonist make the most of what has been gifted to them?   All of those scenarios exist in these stories and there are other interpretations as well of the theme “gifted”. Gifted is Bridge House’s 2023 anthology which includes stories by both some of the gifted writers we already know well and by some new faces.    See in our online shop     Life goes on.

They have their fair share of the type of problems we humans have – pesky monthly cycles, others out to get them, a lack of what they need and a surfeit of what they don’t want. They’re not immune to recessions either. (Young adult) View in our online book shop You'll find all sorts of animals

  Story–telling has often been associated with weaving and spinning. All is craft, cleverness and magic. Here indeed we have a colourful mix of beautifully crafted stories. Some are sad and others bring us hope. There are tensions in relationships, fear of the unknown coupled with surprising empathy, and accidents of birth.

A church clock always strikes twice… or does it? Match-making goes wrong until it goes right. And so much more. Sally Zigmond brings an evocative literary voice to tales in The Story Weaver .
