About this listen
When a traveling bard stumbles into a dragon's den, he is forced to tell stories to the fire-breathing menace or end up being eaten. Eventually running out of tales to share, he makes a deal with the dragon: for his freedom, he will return with new sagas of adventure, romance, and bravery.
Tales of the Dragon's Bard is the story of one man's quest to collect the most exciting stories he possibly can, and Eventide is the first town he encounters. With wish-women, gnomes, a centaur farmer, a resident Gossip Fairy, and a blacksmith dwarf, those living in Eventide have enough going on to keep the Dragon's Bard busy collecting all kinds of stories - especially if he can liven up those adventures a bit with his own ridiculous plots.

Determined to seek his fortune, Percival Taylor leaves behind his sleepy hometown and sets out to become a legendary pirate - only no one at the roguish seaport of Blackshore will allow him anywhere near a ship! Percival must find other means to win the heart of the beautiful Tuppence Magrathia-Paddock, who has mistaken him for a pirate rogue out of one of her romantic tales. She is entirely willing to swoon into his arms if he can prove his buccaneer soul - and she is willing to arrange her own kidnapping to prove it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 209
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .

Witty and Charming Fairy Tales
This set of charming and witty tales, as told by the Dragon's Bard, is fun and amusing. I even laughed out loud a few times. If you are looking for evil dragons and vengeful fantasy, this isn't the book for you. If you like drunk pixies, sensitive dwarfs, and broken wishing wells, you will find them in Eventide. Good for the whole family.
Simon Vance is at his best.

I love this book!
I love everything about this book. Your mileage may of course differ. If you are looking for dark or edgy, or vampires or werewolves, or detailed battle scenes or blatant sex, you won't find it here. But if you like charm, good story-telling, wit, humor, quirky characters well-presented, all read to perfection--this is the book for you. I've listened to it several times already, and expect to many more. I only wish there were twenty more out there like it, but it's unique in my experience.

loved it
this is a fun tale (if a bit predictable) that I will be recommending to all my friends.
the time lines of things was a little confusing at first but once I figured it out it gave the book that story teller feel.

Such a Delightful Book
Such a delightful book. Every character is a caricature, and I mean that in a good way. Every other line has double meaning and the comedy is very frequent. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Wonderfully Woven
The authors weave a delightful web of stories about the folk of Eventide and these are brought to life most artfully by reader Simon Vance. Although firmly within the sword and sorcery genre, this carries none of the "world is about to end unless the hero is victorious against all odds" trope. Instead, the quests, challenges, mistakes and humor pertain to the daily lives, loves and losses of the villagers. Such fun and sweetness has its twists and turns, but the narrative brings us through these with art, grace and a charm so needed by readers who may wish for a brief foray into the Never Never. Huzzah to the Hickmans and Master Vance!
