Avram Davidson β known and loved for his highly imaginative and enjoyable stories β has become one of the most popular writers in the fantasy and science fiction field. This collection of his work includes The Redward Edward Papers , a novella which makes its first appearance here, along with five short stories, each with an afterword by the author.
The fantastic and fascinating characters which you will meet in these stories range from a Dutch river pirate to the "Nafia" in The Lord of Central Park , from a Chinese magician with indescribable powers in Dagon , to a highly educated monkey of delicate sensibility in Sacheverell. And, in The Redward Edward Papers , Avram Davidson brings the full force of his talents β for weaving everyday occurrences into an almost believable tapestry of what might be β to play upon our own eclectic time and place.
