Description

If a writer tells the stories, do the stories tell the writer?

Thirteen stories from the international bestselling author, including the award-winning Old Kingdom story Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case.

Nicholas Sayre will do anything to get across the Wall. Thoughts of Lirael and Sam haunt his dreams, and he has come to realize that his destiny lies with them, in the Old Kingdom. But here in Ancelstierre, Nick faces an obstacle that is not entirely human, with a strange power that seems to come from Nicholas himself.

The rest of the collection includes two widely different takes on the Merlin myth, a gritty urban version of Hansel and Gretel, a heartbreaking story of children and war, a western, a traditional tale with a twist and a hilarious choose-your-own-adventure spoof.

Each story is introduced by Garth Nix, giving context, anecdotes and a glimpse into his creative process. This edition includes a bonus section of frequently asked questions and answers.
