Publisher Description

'Stories are like Russian dolls; open them up, and in each one you'll find another story.'

Conjured from a wickedly imaginative pen, here is a new collection of short stories that showcases Joanne Harris's exceptional storytelling art. Sensuous, wicked, mischievous, uproarious and wry, here are tales that combine the everyday with the unexpected; wild fantasy with bittersweet reality. From the house where it is Christmas all year round, to a ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; from the Congo where a young girl braves the raging rapids to earn a crust of bread, to Norse gods battling for survival in Manhattan; and a new-born baby created with sugar, spice, and lashings of cake, these stories will ensnare and delight you with their variety and inventiveness.

"A fabulous collection of stories from one of my favourite authors. My favourite stories were the Faith and Hope ones, 'Wildfire in Manhattan' and 'Cookie'."

    " Like Jigs and Reels, these short stories are entertaining, but do not have the wow factor in the same way the novels do. "

    " I quite liked most of the stories, just long and interesting enough to read last thing at night. Most had a scifi twist that I enjoyed. "

    " I loved this collection of short stories - an eclectic mix of stories about people, the supernatural and just generic bizarreness. A really fun read. "

    " I like the stories about the two elderly, Faith and Hope most. The other one "Would you like to reconnect?' is poignant and it looks at the cyber world from a very different perspective. It reminds that it is only virtual reality, not reality in any sense. "
