Lyrical tales

A modest collection of lyrical vignettes, this volume gathers a dozen short stories that drift between folk‑tale charm and quiet melancholy. Each piece is rendered in a simple, musical prose that invites listeners to linger on the cadence of everyday moments—whether a Christmas mistletoe, a wandering shepherd’s dog, or a haunted shoreline. The range of settings, from gentle village life to a gothic Swiss landscape, offers a tapestry of moods that feel both timeless and intimate.

The opening work, “All Alone,” unfolds as a plaintive poem spoken by a young orphan mourning his mother’s loss. Through vivid images of cold churchyards, wind‑battered hills and the soft glow of distant bells, the boy’s grief is balanced by the gentle reassurance of a passing traveler. Listeners are drawn into his quiet world, feeling the ache of solitude while sensing a faint promise of comfort beyond the grave‑stone’s shadow.
