About the Book
This outstanding collection showcases the superb skills, the style, the offbeat quirkiness and sheer narrative power of this award-winning fantasist.
A child born to an ordered world, pre-ordained to spread Dissolution... a precognitive dream which turns into a nightmare... a girl who so loves the sun that she will deny her humanity for all time... a cat and a boy, held captive by a magician until they find their own magic... a girl cursed with magical powers that may destroy her – or help save a world... a writer battling for supremacy over her computer keyboard... a woman imprisoned in a strange country...
These seven tales show why Diana Wynne Jones is regarded as Britain's finest fantasy writer.
The book Believing Is Seeing is a sort of alternative USA version of Minor Arcana with just one change, replacing The True State of Affairs with the story Enna Hittims.
