Publisher's Synopsis
In these richly imagined stories anything is possible...
An octopus on the trail of a pair of criminals; an island where gargoyles fly to spend their down time; an alien social researcher is left to cope with an unexpected problem of scale. An ancient stone carving decides to go walk-about, sending the ghostly guardians of her home into a flurry; a travelling trader desperate for a decent cup of tea finds that nothing that simple is ever easy, even with the help of magic; and a young girl's Christmas wish is granted by someone who definitely isn't Santa Claus but possibly a being much more ancient and strange... These tales will haunt your imagination and stay with you long after you've finished reading.
