Andiron Tales

Tom is a restless dreamer who spends cold evenings curled up on a bear‑skin rug before a roaring fireplace, surrounded by the clutter of his family’s library. The shelves brim with classic heroes, while a Japanese ivory god watches from the mantle and a whimsical vase sported with two laughing dragons adds to the room’s charm. When the brass andiron beside the hearth suddenly speaks, asking for a mirror, Tom’s imagination ignites, and the ordinary objects of his world begin to converse, tease, and invite him on a series of daring escapades.

The story follows Tom as he journeys from the cozy library into fantastical realms conjured by these animated household items—a cloud‑trolley, a mischievous poker, and even a bellows that tells its own tale. Each episode blends gentle humor with vivid description, letting listeners drift between the familiar comfort of a Victorian study and the boundless wonder of a boy’s untamed imagination.
