Tale 4 from The Secrets of Castle Drakon by Bev Allen
Historical – In the kitchens of Castle Drakon a man chops
vegetables, chops, chops and chops, and wonders when he’ll ever have an
opportunity to shine. A great dish sent up could result in a lovely glass of
wine … or a silver coin. He begins to play with various mushroom treats, until
the day he finally receives a reward. Unfortunately he also begins to play with
a rare blue mushroom … and that is as far as I go, no spoilers!
Not only did this tale make me hungry, but I am impressed by
the author’s knowledge of fancy dishes! In the end this is a story about greed,
and the way the lesson is given us is delicious. Well done indeed.
