My piece “The Fruit of the Princess Tree” in Apex Magazine begins, “At the top of a hill dotted with bluebells, the tiny cages of the Princess Tree flutter in the breeze. By April, the bottom of each cage is a heavy circle…”
The moment I saw “Princess Tree” in a list of UK common plant names, I knew what I wanted to create. I’m wildly proud of this story.
