He takes refuge in a bombed-out house and in the total blackness his bravado crumbles into tears.
Into his life steps Anna - older, street-smart and scornful of his crying.
In order to keep him calm and quiet, Anna starts to tell Tomas a story that she vaguely remembers from her own childhood.
And so begins a journey into the shifting, shimmering world of ogres, princes, singing bones, foolish lads and wolf-mothers.
Stories in the Dark explores the power of storytelling, mingling the magic and earthy wisdom of folk tales with the hard-edged story of war, conflict and the struggle to survive.
