The collected short stories of Garth Nix, including
a novella which follows on from the enthralling Old Kingdom fantasy
adventures of Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen.
Nicholas Sayre will do anything to get across the
wall, back to the Old Kingdom. Thoughts of Lirael and Sam haunt his
dreams. But here in Ancelstierre the charter is dormant, and before
Nick can re-join his friends he must face one of the rarest and most
dangerous of the Free Magic creatures: a creature that seems to draw
power from Nicholas himself.
'Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case' opens this superb
collection of short stories from Garth Nix, that range from classic
fantasy to a gritty urban version of Hansel and Gretel, and an unusual
take on the role of nature in matters of the heart.
Across the Wall displays the depth and versatility that have made Garth
Nix one of today's leading fantasy writers, and a New York Times
bestseller.
Garth Nix is the author of The Old Kingdom trilogy and the Keys to the
Kingdom series
