The Village on the Edge of the Sea is a collection of short stories with a small, seaside village being the common location. There are several main characters who appear throughout the series, and the good guys are the heroes. The Village is a beautiful place, but the age old conflict of good and evil is part of the fabric of the stories. Love, hatred, romance, suspense, and mystery are found from the first page to the last. This is a great choice for young and old alike.
