"Wandering To Belong" by Jess Mountifield is a wonderful short story about Aneira, a lost young girl who on her travels decides to take on a band of goblins who terrorise a village she passes through.Brave and with little too loose she is a wonderful character. The second part of the story is told from the perspective of a dragon, whose den becomes the scene of her battle with the goblins and who poses more danger to Aneira.I can't tell you any more without spoiling the story for you, only that I loved the surprising end of the story.Mountifield has a gift for writing about brave lost souls whose faith in their own goodness, in doing what's right and in a better tomorrow is inspiring. Her blend of fantasy with elements of the fairy tale genre work really well and I highly recommend you try her stories.
