The Tales From Bridgetown are a collection of stories held at the Faerie Archive in Sommerslip. They relate events involving the Patchwork Market at Bridgetown, directly or indirectly. As the Patchwork Market is the largest Market in all the Faerie Lands this means that just about anything could happen.
At first the tales appear to be quite separate, involving talking mice, apprentice knights, crazy princesses, mermaids, wolves and trolls. Before long the characters from one story end up in someone else's tale. Characters roam across all of Faerie, from the Hundred Kingdoms to the Soft Places. At some points they even travel through time (which is not as exciting in Faerie as it might be in the mortal realms).
One thing's for certain, if you take a group of random heroes, a few goblin traders, a couple of not so nice people and a whole heap of mischief it's certain to lead to A Bad Night In Bridgetown.
The Tales From Bridgetown were originally published in 2013 as a blog at bridgetowntales.blogspot.com where they remain to this day. Their appearance on Wattpad is entirely for your reading convenience.
