These twelve brilliant fantasy stories range widely through time and space: in ancient Greece a goddess comes to dinner; in an alien world a shapelifter fights for his life in a duel of wits, while in a village hall the local disc jockey confronts a deadly gatecrasher.
The stories are very different---some funny, some tender, some nightmarish. But while each is unique, they share a theme of the supernatural touching and changing everyday life. And all warn that life can suddenly reveal a hidden turning, a moment when an ordinary event---falling in love, going to work, even just walking down the street---can turn into the extraordinary.
Among the masters of fantasy represented in this superb collection of new stories are Diana Wynne Jones, Helen Cresswell, Geraldine Harris, and Robert Westall. An introduction by Diana Wynne Jones and notes about the authors are included.
