What if your strangest dreams and wildest imaginings turned out to be . . . well . . . true?

In this riveting collection, master storyteller Diana Wynne Jones presents wildly unpredictable tales in which even the most routine lives are visited by extraordinary events:

  • A writer's character infiltrates her computer and makes her an accomplice in his cyber revolt
  • A sick girl's drawings come to life -- with a vengeance
  • A vet's dream about a wounded werewolf is interrupted by a startling phone call
  • A cat tells how the kindhearted wizard she owns is suddenly called upon to defeat a horrific Beast

These fifteen stories and one novella -- including three works never before published in the United States -- will tickle and enchant, startle and surprise.
