What’s inside...

Jack o' Hearts, the top card player in the parish, is challenged to a high-stakes game by a mysterious green stranger. The game is tricky, but Jack has an advantage in the form of the green man's magical daughter, Ann, who takes a liking to Jack. This humorous re-imagination of a traditional Newfoundland folktale, 'Jack and the Green Man,' combines magic, romance, transformations, and challenges. It features vibrant characters, country songs, and the looming threat of Jack's head on a spear. This story is part of a successful series that has received critical acclaim and multiple award nominations.
