An Epiphany Gift for Robin

UPDATED WITH AN EXTENDED ENDING 1/3/2015

Arthur and Mariot are among the poorest of the poor serfs in 12th Century England. Some call them chattel, no better than the oxen that plow the baron's fields. While the Yule log roars in the great castle hearth and the baron and his household feast on Christmas goose, Arthur's family shivers in the cold. Serfs are not meant to dream or love, but Arthur dares to do both. Twelve days after Christmas, on the gift giving day of Epiphany, Arthur makes a sacrifice that will change the future of one of his family members forever. "An Epiphany Gift for Robin", by award winning medieval author Joyce DiPastena, is a short story that will touch your heart and warm your soul this Christmas season.
