About this listen
New York Times best-selling author TJ Klune invites you back to the land of Verania in a new collection of short stories starring the beloved characters from the Tales of Verania series.
In the opening story - "The Unicorn in the Tower" - Gary is a princess trapped in a stone tower by the evil Lady Tina DeSilva, who plans on sacrificing him on the first full moon after his 18th birthday. With help from his friends - a bird named Tiggy and a mangy weasel called Sam - Gary interviews potential suitors to rescue him and love him above all others, as he so rightly deserves.
"The Unicorn in the Tower" is followed by "Sam and the Beanstalk", wherein a poor farm boy exchanges his family’s bull for magical beans and the promise of treasure in the sky. But when he climbs the beanstalk, Sam finds things are not as he expected them to be.
"The Good Boy" sees Todd and his immaculate ears taking center stage. When Todd’s father dies, he leaves his son in the care of his evil stepmother and two stepsiblings who live to make Todd’s life a living hell. It’s not until the household receives an invitation to attend a ball for the mysterious Sir that Todd begins to wish for a life beyond what he knows.
"David’s Dragon", the final - and only canonical - tale, is set a thousand years before the rise of the dark wizard Myrin. It begins simply: a lonely boy in a small village befriends a dragon. What follows is a story of love and sacrifice, hope and heartbreak, and what it means to earn your place amongst the stars.
Welcome back to Verania. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.

Fantastic but listen to the other books first
Love this book and the fairy tales included!
First things first, there are spoilers if you have not listened to the other books in the series first. Leave this till last. The stories also won’t be as funny if you don’t understand all the little in jokes that come from the previous books. Example: there is a small reference to the song “cheesy dicks and candlesticks” in one of the short stories.
Michael Lesley as usual did an amazing job performing the story, bringing the characters alive and offering much needed tone at critical junctures. (Seriously if Michael has a podcast someone point me to it, I could listen to him talk about anything).
While all of the short stories were amazing my favourite is “The good boy”.

The retelling of fairytales with an adult Drag Queen twist.
Absolutely wonderful book be warned it dose contain spoilers from the previous books in the series. This is otherwise mostly unrelated to the main story mostly just ridiculous fun nonsense with very talented voice performances. Be warned the last story ties in to the main story as a prequel and is sad and heart wrenching be prepared.

Michael Lesley is a treasure and a delight
I honestly often forget a single person is narrating - it feels like a full cast. Listen to all the credits too!
