Seven Anglo-Saxon Riddles and Other Stories

Abstract

Seven Anglo-Saxon Riddles and Other Stories is a collection of original short fiction structured around a series of seven riddles. These riddles are loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon riddle tradition of early medieval England. Answers to the riddles are printed upside-down on subsequent pages to reduce the likelihood of unintentional sightings by the reader. Each story is thematically linked to the preceding and/or following riddle.
