Your artwork is splendid. The wave "eating" the fire was supremely realistic and reminded me of Bengali tales we were told as children, where monsters shouted "hau mau khau" in anticipation of relishing their prey...although in this case, the water wasn't a monster of course.

This was so sweet! Loved it! And the "silly rhyme"...reminded me of the stories we heard as children when there was always a repetitive rhyme in it.

This story (or should that be stories, considering it’s an amalgam of a few?) is my favourite yet. The concept of fire hiding in the stone is incredibly clever and wonderfully thought out!

I’ve never heard of the Nyishi people. Are we talking about the Assam region, or am I completely off the mark?
