Master storyteller David Almond presents a beautiful collection of
short fiction, interwoven with pieces that illuminate the inspiration
behind the stories.
May Malone is said to have a monster in
her house, but what Norman finds there may just be the angel he needs.
Joe Quinn’s house is noisy with poltergeists, or could it be Davie’s
raging causing the disturbance? Fragile Annie learns the truth about
herself in a photograph taken by a traveling man near the sea. Set in
the northern English Tyneside country of the author’s childhood, these
eight short stories by the incomparable David Almond evoke gritty
realities and ineffable longings, experiences both ordinary and magical.
In autobiographical preludes to each story, the writer shows how all
things can be turned into tales, reflecting on a time of wonder,
tenderness, and joy.
