The Forge in the Forest

A band of brothers strikes a bargain with a seasoned blacksmith and it is agreed upon that the smith will shoe their wild horse in exchange for their stories about the four elements. The imaginative stories shared by the brothers include tales of Greek and Norse mythology, legends from ancient Scotland and from Brittany, and stories of Saints and other biblical heroes. All these imaginative tales are told at the forge of the man who 'makes shoes without leather’ and who, as the brothers will learn, has a story of his own to share.
