Songs from the Seashell Archives, Vol 1:  Song of Sorcery / The Unicorn Creed

Unfortunately, this book is not what the title, picture, or description say it is. This ISBN is for VOL ONE, which is comprised of "Song of Sorcery" & "The Unicorn Creed." These are both wonderful stories, but are not the stories cited here. "Song of Sorcery" introduces Maggie Brown, irascible but lovable hearth witch, and Colin Songsmith, charming, if clueless, bard. I first read the Seashell Archive books when I was a teen, and 25 years later, I still remembered them. The writing is light-hearted and witty, the stories original and funny. If you are looking for Vol. Two (Bronwyn's Bane/The Christening Quest), use ISBN 0553270095. I have to give the actual book a 4-star rating, but if I was rating the accuracy of the description, I wouldn't even give it a 1.
