Cette série plonge dans un monde fantastique où les tropes traditionnels des contes de fées sont renversés. Au lieu de batailles épiques ou de sauvetages de royaumes, elle se concentre sur l'héroïsme trouvé dans la vie quotidienne et les relations personnelles. C'est un récit sur la découverte de la force et du courage directement dans son propre foyer et dans sa propre vie. Les histoires sont pleines de magie, mais possèdent un cœur étonnamment réaliste.

[1] " ... tells the story of an isolated, abandoned castle, and the eccentric inhabitants who bring it back to life. A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil -- but about being a hero in your own home. The opening story, "The Brambly Hedge," tells the origin of the castle itself, which is abandoned by its princess in a comic twist on "Sleeping Beauty" when she rides off into the sunset with her Prince Charming. The castle becomes a refuge for misfits, outcasts, and others seeking sanctuary, playing host to a lively and colorful cast of characters that inhabits the subsequent stories, including a talking anthropomorphic horse, a mysteriously pregnant Lady on the run, and a bearded nun"--Publisher's description.
