This volume brings together four new stories from the mind of John Crowley. here is "The Nightingale Sings at Night," a sweet-hearted, gentle, yet poignant tale that retells the story of creation from an entirely new vantage point; a novella called "Novelty," an intriguing and amusing foray into a writer's mind; "In Blue," a science fictional tale about a Brave New World where everything is known--a world no less dark than the medieval age of ignorance; and "Great Work of Time," a short novel of time travel hope, and possibility set in nostalgic British colonial empire. Fascinating. melancholy and brilliantly inventive. it stands with the finest work Crowley has ever put to the page.
