I think I'm going to have to pay particular attention to mentions of pecksies on my next re-read through the main Realms of the Elderlings series. I was fascinated by the hedge witchery in Fool's Errand, and I was really excited to read more about it.
I agree, aldaroncastle, I really enjoyed Words Like Coins and bought A Fantasy Medley for that story alone...I didn't read the others. I also agree with Mervi in that it adds significantly to the other RotE books. Of course, it prompts more questions also!
Not normally a fan of short stories, I have re-read this one a number of times as I, too, particularly enjoyed the hedge witchery (and Six Duchies) connection and also the evidence proving that pecksies were, indeed, real!
