On a beach in a pre-industrial British village, two small children appear that everyone sees, but no one remembers. Lost traditions play themselves out on the stage of the seasons as the villagers live their stories of love, loss, healing, humor, and adventure: An old woman brews and bottles hope, peace, and truth. A miller's daughter finds unwanted drama in suspicious newcomers. A young boy becomes embroiled in a quest of elderly mystery lovers. A roof thatcher is haunted by a straw fox and a tragic puzzle. A fey child wields knowledge from the ether. A widower who lives in a tree writes it all down. The villagers of Withe and Stone tell their tales without realizing just how different their world is from ours, where the traditional faiths of pagan Europe stayed dominant, evolving into a peaceful agrarian society, and where two small children whom everyone sees, and no one remembers, read the spell of the world, and use their magic to keep this universe from slipping away.
