Story Summary

Young Tom became a doctor because his father was a doctor, but he preferred to write poetry and was always getting his cures backwards. But medicines worked backwards on witches and soon witches were coming from far and wide for his cures including one young and pretty which named Sabina who became his assistant, then his wife.
