"The Faery Tales of Weir" by Anna McClure Sholl is a collection of less traditionally-known stories for children and adults. The Tale of the Blue Glove, The Invisible Wall, The Tree in the Dark Wood, The Cat that Winked, The Magic Tears, and The Golden Archer are all magical stories that aim to teach readers while also remaining entertaining enough they're worth rereading again and again. The common theme of these stories is that they're all written and told in a way that portrays them as magical tales from far-off places.

Excerpt from The Faery Tales of Weir The little old churches placed where Weir drowses out into the country, have hoarse, sweet bells like the voices of old women who whisper of the Christ Child at Christmas time; and in the churches are windows as full of color as the gardens of Weir.
