An Older Kind of Magic
Illustrated by Noela Young
Tiny tendrils of magic and mystery draw you into this tale, now 20 years old. There's a seductive furtiveness that only begins to assert itself just before the end, when the old powers of the world respond to the comet-magic that has returned after 1,000 years and the impossible can happen whilst purely temporal powers, like grasping land developers, are turned to stone. This little gem, from an award-winning writer, is possibly too subtle for all but the most receptive and thoughtful readers.
