Another beautifully crafted collection of literary short stories
form the pen of Margo Lanagan. One to reach for again and again
*Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads*
Each rereading will offer another chance to luxuriate in the
richness of the language . . . For thoughtful and reflective young
adult(and adult) readers.
*Children's Books Ireland: recommended reads*
The absolute pinnacle of short fiction writers for any age group .
. . I’m sure Lanagan has been compared to Angela Carter elsewhere
but the often over-looked strange stories of Robert Aickman also
spring to mind. Lanagan has a beguiling imagination while her prose
is luxurious quicksand and its all too easy for the reader to
become dragged under.
*The Scotsman*
10 emotional short stories - all beautifully and hauntingly
written...These are not stories to race through, they are stories
to be savoured.
*Parents in Touch*
We should always make time for short stories. Especially if they
are written by Margo Lanagan...Everything is earthy even when it's
magic, and so, so believable. I get lost in the worlds she creates
and sometimes it's quite difficult to wake myself up when I've
finished reading.
