My name is Coriander Hobie, and I have a great many things to tellâof silver shoes that tempted me and an alligator most rare; of London, the home of my childhood, and another, stranger land, one that I thought only existed in dreams; and of an ebony box whose treasure only now am I beginning to understand. The box was once my motherâs, but its secrets were meant for me.
This being my story and a fairy tale besides, I will start once upon a time . . .
