A second short story collection from Joanne Harris, author of "Chocolat "and "Peaches for Monsieur le Cure."
`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 newborn baby created with sugar, spice and lashings of cake, these stories will ensnare and delight you with their variety and inventiveness.ISBN - 9780552778794
