Summary

This week's free story comes from the By Thistle By Thimble collection.

It's called "Constable Phelps and the Wondersmith."

Everything in the town of Iontas is in perfect order. Constable Phelps keeps it that way. The people work hard and there is never any trouble or complaint. But there also aren't any smiles or laughter. That is, until the Wondersmith arrives and quietly, gently changes everything.
