Very delightful reimagining of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. I'm glad I didn't read it when my kids were little and that was their favorite storybook! ha. Thank you for sharing with us.

A good story however the author has neglected to take into account the ageing of the characters.

The male is said to have risen through the ranks from boyhood and became a leader for thirty years.

So lets say 10 years old, plus another ten to become a commander, then thirty years in command makes him 50. Some years later the triplets are born, so say he is now 55, at eighteen the girls are priestesses and he is 73. Years pass, say five years he is now 78 and the sisters are 23. After the disputes and seductions years pass and the children grew to see their own children born - so say another 15 years. That make him at least 93 and the sister 38.
