Story
When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Jarl Bjartmar, my grandfather, calls me cursed. My mother, her memories stolen by the gods, has forgotten me. Everyone tells me I should have been left to the wolves, but no one will tell me why. None but Eydis, a thrall with völva magic, believes I'm meant for a greater destiny. Yet who can believe a devotee of Loki?

Boudica, second daughter of a Celtic king, has little concern for tribal tensions and political intrigues. Called by the gods and the stirrings of her own wild heart, she listens instead to whispers of the oaks. But Boudica would be wiser to heed the warning cries of eagles. Rumors abound that the Romans are amassing forces for another invasion. In an effort to consolidate power, Boudica’s father turns to Prasutagus, the formidable ruler of the Greater Iceni. To win Prasutagus’s aid, Boudica’s father must strike a bargain - a deal with implications beyond Boudica’s imagining.

Story
Selah has waited her whole life for a happily ever after. As the only daughter of the leader of Potomac, she knows her duty is to find the perfect match. But after an excruciatingly public rejection, Selah’s stepmother suggests an unthinkable solution: Selah must set sail across the Atlantic to visit a series of potential suitors - and if she doesn’t come home engaged, she shouldn’t come home at all. From the gardens of England to the fjords of Norge, Selah’s quest will be the journey of a lifetime. But her stepmother’s schemes aren’t the only secrets hiding belowdecks.

Perfect bedtime stories!
Wow what a variety of fantasy stories! This is a great book, especially for kids but very enjoyable for adults as well. I also like the way the narrator handles this one — he really gets into the characters.

A Great Fantasy Short Story Collection
A charming collection of fantasy short stories, most with a moral lesson including characters from dragons to dwarves, princes and princesses, a village of rabbits and a host of ordinary boys and girls.
Short, entertaining and perfect for bedtime reading.

Whimsical Fairy Tales that teach Morality
The Storyteller's Diary is an anthology of bedtime story length fairytales steeped in classic folk creatures, whimsical settings, and themes of morality. While some stories are sillier than others, all of them aim to teach a lesson about living good and peaceful lives, loving family and neighbours, and not taking anything for granted. Some of the stories mirror biblical stories and parables very closely (one near the middle is very much a "he who is without sin shall cast the first stone" sort of story), while others feel more unique.
All of these stories would make great bedtime stories for kids of all ages, and this book would also be wonderful family storytime reading for lazy afternoons, camping trips, and storm days. I would recommend this to all my friends with kids.
I am reviewing the audiobook edition, specifically, so I would also like to comment that the narrator's performance was very good. His voice is crisp, his pacing is appropriate, and he does make a good effort to vary the voices of different characters in dialogue. There are appropriate pauses between stories, too. I've listened to some audio anthologies where one story blends into the next, leading to confusion for the listener, but that is not the case with this performance.
For the book itself, I rate The Storyteller's Diary 4 out of 5 stars. It's very good and I would recommend it, but I wasn't completely captivated by it. For the narrator's performance, again I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. It was quite good, and I would not hesitate to listen to another audiobook performed by the same narrator. Overall, therefore, my rating is a solid 4 stars.
I would like to thank the author for granting me access to a free review copy in exchange for an honest review as part of a blog tour for The Storyteller's Diary organized by Audiobookworm Promotions.

Great Christian messages!
I love the way this book has Christian meanings behind some of the stories! Excellent writing; my particular favorite it the one about the old dwarf and the wolves!

Very enjoyable collection of fantasy stories
I really enjoyed this collection of short fairy-tale/fantasy type stories, although sometimes the ending of the stories left unanswered questions and felt incomplete. The stories were sweet, a little nostalgic, and heart-warming. Many also came with a lesson (kind of like Aesop's fables), including about handling bullies, letting go of departed loved ones, bettering yourself, and learning that our perceptions color how we see events. There are princesses and pirates, poor people and wealthy ones, good spirits and troublesome ones, a talking horse and a colony of talking rabbits, humor and tragedy, joy and sorrow, All-in-all, a very enjoyable listen.
I liked the narration. It was well-paced and it was easy to tell the different characters apart.
