_ Lost & Found_ presents fifteen reimagined folk tales—ranging from “The Riddle of the Crossroads” to “The Wits of the Whetstone”—that bristle with mystery, enchantment, and moral nuance. Garner combines poetic storytelling with a keen sense for the surreal, weaving enduring myths into fresh and haunting narratives. Accompanied by Phoebe Connolly’s evocative woodcut illustrations, each tale becomes a standalone experience. Read in sequence, the collection deepens into a tapestry of shared humanity, weaving threads of fear, wonder, and redemption.
