Quick Overview
Thirteen inventive short stories written over the past fifteen years, accompanied by detailed notes that allow a glimpse of Garth Nix's creative process, make up this intriguing fantasy collection. The lead story, "Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case"--really a novella--focuses on the land of Ancelstierre, last seen in the breathtaking SABRIEL/LIRAEL/ABHORSEN trilogy. Other stories include "Under the Lake," an inspired take on the Arthurian legend of the Lady of the Lake; "Down to the Scum Quarter," Nix's own version of the "choose your own adventure" genre; and an inventive re-telling of the Brothers Grimm story "Hansel's Eyes." Juvenile fiction.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
