Dancing Shadows, Tramping Hooves by Dianne Ascroft is a collection of six short stories. At just 41 pages, this was a short and cozy read. The stories have the common theme of farm life running through them. The woman who wishes her dance partner would feel more for her, the mother who is home by candlelight on a stormy night, the lovers who reunite after forty long years...I found these stories to be well written and simply told.My favorite of the set was Conquering the Shadows, which is about a mother who is home alone one stormy night with her young children and lets her imagine run a bit wild."In the farmhouse after darkness descended each evening she would never stray out of the reach of candlelight or the fire's glow. At bedtime she would race from the kitchen to her bedroom, sometimes stubbing her toes on the stairs in the dark, to escape the hallway's empty blackness and the floorboards creaks and groans."p.30, Dancing Shadows, Tramping Hooves by Dianne Ascroftdisclaimer:This review is my honest opinion.
