Set in today's world, these short stories were inspired by the Brothers Grimm. And as it was and still is, these folk of Ani, haven't changed since time passed them by-all hoping to find the golden-goose that will end all grief and elevate them to triumph. Life is unchanged in Ani, except the conveniences of mechanized farming, the automobile, and the new generation coming up into the world. The mindset is still the same as it was two-hundred years ago, stoic and steadfast as if they never left a time only read in books. These people live the same as they did centuries ago, and do things the way their parents and grandparents did. Some still live in houses built 200 years ago-framed gingerbread dwellings, some of stone and some of brick and some of stucco. Some still heat their houses and cook with wood, or pump water from a well, and have little interest in shopping at supermarkets or malls or department stores or eating in fast-food takeouts, for they are equipped for living in the old tradition. These people still live in a world reminiscent of a fairytale.
