Autumn

Autumn is a season of falling leaves and lingering shadows, where memory and mischief often walk hand in hand. This captivating collection of tales drifts between the melancholy and the whimsical, warmly inviting you to explore places that are never quite as ordinary as they seem.
Here, amber holds more than time in Frozen in Amber, and a well-fed imagination takes on flesh in The Book Worm. The gentle art of the unfamiliar becomes perilously competitive in A Promising Game of 'Crumble', while The Dust of Your Dreams lingers in the air long after waking. A curious creature feathers its way through The Bird in the Hat, and a yuletide vigil grows strangely still in Silent Knight.
Elsewhere, the seemingly forgettable proves otherwise in An Unremarkable Man, while Mister Mortimer's Magical Toy Shop opens its doors to enchantments both delightful and dangerous. The rules of commerce are tested in The Franchise Game, and roses bloom in unexpected soil in A Good Year for the Roses. Even learning has its season in Tee Hee Quod She and Clepe the window To, and fortune jingles faintly in the pockets of Three Silver Dollars.
These stories, like autumn, carry a touch of melancholy in their fading light and drifting smoke, but there is mischief here too. Step inside, and you may find yourself caught between the familiar and a more unfamiliar path.
