Children from 6 -11
Deep within the mysterious land of the Prince of Bishops lies a village wrapped in mist and superstition, standing since the thirteenth century. Locals speak in hushed tones of The Tall Man—a shadowy figure said to wander the fields and riverbanks at night.
Each evening, the church bells chime before dusk, a warning echoing through stone and time. Windows locked, children kept close, and whispers rise of those who vanished in their sleep.
No one knows where he came from—only that he watches. Or waits.
The village has long feared him. But not everything in the dark is what it seems. Sometimes, it takes only a flicker of light to see what truly walks in the shadows.
Welcome to our world of stories — where folklore, imagination, and heart come together. Whether it’s a tale for children or a whisper from the Black Path, or the magic that flows from the river Skerne, each piece is drawn from something real and reshaped into something magical. I’m Ronald Craig, and these are my Original stories.
Written and illustrated by Ronald Craig Inspired by childhood wonder written for his daughters and the quiet glow of bedtime dreams. This is just a glimpse into the worlds we have built.

Inglenook - Print coming soon!
And then, just as Ruby-May was starting to feel more relaxed, Greta-Ann handed her a key. This was the moment Ruby-May’s adventure began, the inglenook near the window hid a cupboard. Ruby-May turned the key, the inner mechanism of the lock clicked and grinds as the key turns as the lock opens. Ruby-May opened the cupboard, there in front of her, an old-bound volume with gold lettering on the cover. Ruby-May’s eyes widened with excitement as she reached out to touch it.

The Alley and the crow -
A girl alone sleeping on a cold on cobbled stone of a small town called LockeLow not remembering her own name or once from where she came. Tussled and mattered hair scared but a face of courage with deep green eyes, she was noticeable only for people to pass her by. All that is familiar is the red and orange glow of a streetlamp and the feel of icy rain, a crow which seemed to be intersted frequent by. Sat cold in a downpour there was suddenly a warm drink pressed into her hands by a kind elderly woman, her identity hidden by a hood and dressed in a moss-green coat.

This is no mere tale—it is a whisper from the village where I call home, cloaked in whimsy yet shrouded with shadows. Magical ideas thread and entwine through the world around us, but do not be deceived. For every folk-law, there lies a truth buried beneath. This story will take you somewhere you have never seen, and once you visit, you may never come back the same. All names and identities hidden, not to protect the innocent, but to bind their true names in silence. Speak to them, and the story might call you and you might never return.

and the courage to step through.

A game of strategy, speed, and memory — made in memory of my sister.
Initial Square is more than just a game. It’s a tribute to the quiet moments that meant the world — a simple pen-and-paper game played with my late sister, brought to life with a modern, glowing twist.
We’d sit for hours sketching out grids, taking turns to claim squares, laughing at who could finish first. That time, that laughter — that connection — is what this game is all about.
Now, I’ve recreated it for a new generation, blending nostalgia with technology. It’s fast, fun, and challenging whether you play solo, against friends, or even test yourself against Sol — your built-in AI opponent.
