"These twenty-five brief tales--written by the poet and fabulist Robert Kelly, and illustrated with ink drawings by the artist Emma Polyakov--are filled with wonder and enchantment for all who are young at heart. There are suitably beguiling personages as well: spectral foxes, a telepathic ape and antelope, shadows that speak, an odd djinn, a feline conductor, an umbrella-loving serpent, protean elves, and many other visions of the ultimate reality just beyond sight. A special limited autograph edition of ten of these tales was issued in 2019. That book has been expanded for this first trade edition, adding fifteen additional tales, each with its own illustration. The tales possess such alluring titles as "The Fox and the Other Side," "The Priest's Peculiar Wife," "The Boy in the Camel," "The Leper's Touch," and "The Girl Who Could Change.""--
