The Grammarian's Five Daughters

Another short story someone will come along and reshelve. For my record, I read "The Grammarian's Five Daughter," a fun little take on the classic fairy tale of sending the children off to seek their fortunes. As these young daughters are the children of a grammarian, their leaving presents are interesting.

And I should look for more Eleanor Arnason.
