- Summary:
- Believing is seeing, as the title of this outstanding collection of fantasies proclaims. And reading is seeing more than you've ever imagined when in the masterful hands of acclaimed author Diana Wynne Jones. Here are seven tales--seven doorways to bizarre, yet strangely familiar worlds--to transport one and all. In these worlds are a child born to an ordered society but preordained to spread Dissolution ... a girl who so loves the sun that she renounces her humanity for eternity ... a cat and a boy, held captive by an evil magician until they can find a bigger magic of their own ... a woman imprisoned in a strange country dominated by three ravenous wolves ... and many other characters and stories just as exceptional. These richly drawn, razor-sharp stories showcase the skills and sheer narrative power of one of the most esteemed fantasy writers of our time.
