Nicholas Sayre will do anything to get across the Wall, back to the Old Kingdom.

Thoughts of Lirael and Sam haunt his dreams, and he has come to realize that his destiny lies there, along with all those he cares for. But here in Ancelstierre, far south of the Wall, the Charter is dormant, and among the obstacles Nick faces is one that is not entirely human, and which has a strange power that seems to come from Nicholas himself.

With "Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case," Garth Nix continues to explore the magical world of The Abhorsen Trilogy. In additional short stories that range from classic fantasy -- two widely different takes on the Merlin myth -- to a gritty urban version of Hansel and Gretel, to an unusual take on the role of nature in matters of love, and to a heartbreaking story of children and war, Garth Nix displays the range and versatility that have made him one of today's leading writers of fantasy for readers of all ages.

Industry Reviews

"Anyone familiar with Garth Nix's children's trilogy Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen will snatch up this anthology! there's a little bit of everything here." SFX From Garth Nix fans at www.garthnix.co.uk 'Amazing and brilliant, Nix always finds a new way to captivate the reader with each story.' 'This collection of stories is a great read, even if you haven't read any books in the Old Kingdom trilogy. Whether it be Nicholas Sayre and The Creature in The Case, or the short, tragic tale that is Endings, you'll be hanging onto every word and asking yourself why this book wasn't published earlier.' 'Awesome awesome book. My dad and I both were laughing our heads off at the Choose your own adventure and my personal favorite was the beautiful tale Endings. Can't wait to read more by Garth Nix.'
