What if Geoffrey Chaucer walked into a modern day 24 hour diner?
What sort of characters would he meet? What sort of stories would
they tell? In Diner Tales, Bunch reboots Chaucer's master work,
capturing the "motley ensemble" of insomniacs who gather late at
night in a diner to entertain each other with stories. Chaucer
wrote for the masses and by moving his retreatment to the new world
and the new era Bunch reclaimed the simple, often bawdy fun of the
original from the shelf of stuffy academia. Don't let this
easy-to-read set of tales deceive you. Bunch has studied history
and literature in England, and regularly edits the Canterbury Tales
page for Shelfari. By combining authentic flair with updated charm
Diner Tales delivers the spectacle of story one entertaining
installment at a time.
In a world without magic, an ancient evil arises from myth to rule
the known realms. Only two teenagers from impossibly different
backgrounds stand in his way. Before they can stop a magic sucking
litch, Princes Ambria and Greymar of the Swamp must find each other
and discover their own power. No one believes Rancor has returned
but our heroes...but do they believe in themselves.
