Synopsis: A baker and his wife are childless due to a curse placed upon their family by a witch because one of their family 
members stole from her beloved garden. But the witch agrees to lift the curse if they can successfully complete a series of tasks in “three days’ time.” Wanting children that badly, the Baker and his wife duly venture forth into the woods in search of four items she has commanded them to fetch,

About the Author
Tom Hall is both an amateur artist and aspiring novelist who writes art quest thrillers. He is in the final stages of completing his debut novel titled "Art Detective," a story that fictionalizes the discovery of the fabled billion-dollar Impressionist collection of Parisian art dealer Josse Bernheim-Jeune, thought by many to have perished during World War II when the collection's hiding place, Castle de Rastignac in southern France, was destroyed by the Wehrmacht in reprisal for attacks made by members of the Resistance operating in the area. A former tax attorney, Tom holds a bachelor's degree as well as both a juris doctorate and masters of laws in taxation from the University of Florida. Tom lives in Estero, Florida with his fiancee, Connie, and their four cats.
