The Anise Lantern Inn

Cozy Fantasy Coloring Book for Adults: A Little Vole Innkeeper, Lantern-Lit Woodland Nights, and Gentle Storybook Days

Fenn wakes at dawn and lights the hearth before anyone else is up. Soon the anise star buns are rising and the morning tea is poured. Then the inn opens. A traveler arrives, so there are fresh pillows to fluff and a name to write in the guest ledger. Later, Fenn takes the path to market, forages for mushrooms and pauses on the stone bridge. Rain comes. Fenn finds shelter, then heads home to bake a pie and stir the big soup pot. As evening falls, the inn sign glows, dinner is served and shadow puppets dance by the fire. One last lantern burns over Fenn's journal. Goodnight, inn.

Each page is drawn in a soft kawaii style, with round faces, chubby pastries and cozy little details to fill. Pick a scene, settle in and let the inn brighten one lantern at a time.
