Sensuous,mischievous,uproarious and wry,these are tales that combine the everyday with the unexpected, wild fantasy with bittersweet reality. Come to the house where it is Christmas all year round; meet the ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; be spooked by a newborn baby created with sugar,spice and lashings of cake.Worry for a young girl in the Congo who rides the rapids to earn a crust of bread; and spy on Norse gods battling each other for survival in modern Manhattan. In her first short-story collection since 'Jigs & Reels',let Joanne Harris ensnare and delight you with the variety and inventiveness of her storytelling.
