The Storyteller

April-May Collins is a thirty-year-old ordinary-looking librarian who often feels her life is dull and boring. To embellish it, she engages her unique and wild imagination. It often gets her into trouble. A setback from a recent relationship breakup threatens to propel her spiraling, once again, into depression. Encouraged by her concerned mother one mild Spring Sunday morning, April goes for a walk through her favourite forest. While there, she allows her imagination to run free. It does and takes her to an imaginary island and on a fantastic journey of self-discovery. Along the way, April-May meets some interesting humans and numerous animals and gains a few insightful lessons. Their somewhat unconventional guidance eventually assists her to make the necessary changes so she can find her way back home. The path is a rocky but rewarding and enlightening one. April, obsessed with dragons, feels there has to be at least one, and friendly at that, to fly home on. And so she begins her search.
