What is Wonders of the Invisible World about?
Stylistically rooted in fairy tale and mythology, imperceptible landscapes are explored in these opulent stories from a beloved fantasy icon. There are princesses dancing with dead suitors, a knight in love with an official of exotic lineage, and fortune’s fool stealing into the present instead of the future. In one mesmerizing tale, a time-traveling angel is forbidden to intervene in Cotton Mather’s religious ravings, while another narrative finds a wizard seduced in his youth by the Faerie Queen and returning the treasure that is rightfully hers. Bewitching, bittersweet, and deeply intoxicating, this collection draws elements from the fables of history and re-creates them in startlingly magical ways.Review"Lush imagery and wry humor . . . McKillip's rich language conveys real strangeness and power." —Starlog"A casket full of wonders. I think each one is my favorite, until I read the next. McKillip has the true Mythopoeic imagination. Here lies the border between our world and that of Faerie." —P. C. Hodgell, author of the Kencyrath series"Cool elegance." —Chicago Sun-Times"McKillip's is the first name that comes to mind when I'm asked whom I read myself." —Peter S. Beagle, au
