An old man walks through a odd city with his grandson sent to keep an eye on him by his mother. The mother, daughter of a bard, married into the family of an Oligarch.

A strange man walks in, causing the patrons to eye him hostilely. After he leaves, the boy asks the old man why they hate him so. Thus begins the story!

I found this to be a bit of a different take on a religious matter. It seems to merge Judo-Christian theme with a bit of the old pagan / Nordic beliefs.

It is set as an story teller passing on knowledge in the form of tales to all who will listen, after a stranger enters the bar & makes a toast.

I found it well told, interesting, with a touch of the old Nordic "it could have been"; together with a good moral theme.

Very enjoyable.
