First Dangle and Other Stories

From the world of the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles comes an adventure featuring the ancient Druid, Owen Kennedy, and his favorite sloth, Slomonomobrodolie.

Owen the archdruid and Slomo, his sloth friend, are about to see the world together when they are interrupted by Coriander, Herald Extraordinary for the First among the Fae. He asks them to do him the small favor of solving a supernatural murder.

Helping Coriander takes Owen and Slomo to Granada, Spain, then to London, England, and Austin, Texas, where they confront an Irish goddess of wisdom, streak through Kew Gardens, and encounter some spriggans in a honky tonk. They get to see the world after all—just not the way they thought.

This collection also includes "The Naughtiest Cherub," narrated by Loki and taking place directly before the events of Scourged, book 9 of the Iron Druid Chronicles, and also "The Waters," narrated by Granuaile sometime after the events of Scourged. It also contains "Friendly Emily," a short science fiction piece that is the prelude to a novella called A Question of Navigation.
