Paradise & elsewhere : stories

Page, Kathy 1958- (author.).

Summary: "The rubble of an ancient civilization. A village in a valley from which no one comes or goes. A forest of mother-trees, whispering to each other through their roots; a lakeside lighthouse where a girl slips into human skin as lightly as an otter into water; a desert settlement where there was no conflict, before she came; or the town of Wantwick, ruled by a soothsayer, where tourists lose everything they have. These are the places where things begin. ... Paradise & Elsewhere is a collection of dark fables at once familiar and entirely strange: Kathy Page notches a new path through the wild, lush, half-fantastic and half-real terrain of fairy tale and myth."--Back cover.
