Undelund Tales is a collection of stories created by Tim Harbyns (an anagram of the writer's real name), and these tales are based in and around the fictious nation of Undelund.

The genre of these tales includes a dash of fantasy (mysterious energies and lurking beasts), steam-powered things, and Victorian-era sensibilities.

While some tales include a dusting of magic or the appearance of some ghastly creature or two, the key focus is very much a human one.

The central core of each story centres on human nature and explores themes such as: bullying, homelessness, escaping abuse, false friendships, cause and effect, and so on.

Since I was able to write, I've always had a few stories to tell; and Undelund Tales represents a small number of them.

While my stories aren't written to win awards, hopefully they are enjoyable enough in their own right comprising a mix of entertainment and morality.

In terms of reading, my favourite book of all time is The Old Curiosity Shop by my favourite author, Charles Dickens.

Not coincidentally, Undelund is a country similar to mid-Victorian era England with added sprinkles of magical sugar and monsterly spice.
