"From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes A Sorceress Comes to Call-a dark reimagining of the Brothers Grimm's "The Goose Girl," rife with secrets, murder, and forbidden magic. *The hardcover edition features a foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.* Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn't have any doors between rooms-there are no secrets in this house-and her mother doesn't allow Cordelia to have a single friend. Unless you count Falada, her mother's beautiful white horse. The only time Cordelia feels truly free is on her daily rides with him. But more than simple eccentricity sets her mother apart. Other mothers don't force their daughters to be silent and motionless for hours, sometimes days, on end. Other mothers aren't evil sorcerers. When her mother unexpectedly moves them into the manor home of a wealthy older Squire and his kind but keen-eyed sister, Hester, Cordelia knows this welcoming pair are to be her mother's next victims. But Cordelia feels at home for the very first time among these people, and as her mother's plans darken, she must decide how to face the woman who raised her to save the people who have become like family. "Kingfisher never fails to dazzle."-Peter S. Beagle, Hugo-, Nebula-, and Locus-Award winning author of The Last Unicorn "Kingfisher is an inventive fantasy powerhouse."-BookPage Also by T.

"Originally published in serialized form in Japan as Mina no Koshin by Yomiuri Shimbun in 2005. Originally published in paperback in Japan as Mina no Koshin by Chuokoron-Shinsha, Inc., Tokyo, in 2006."
"In the spring of 1972, twelve-year-old Tomoko leaves her mother behind in Tokyo and boards a train alone for Ashiya, a coastal town in Japan, to stay with her aunt's family. Tomoko's aunt is an enigma and an outlier in her working-class family, and her magnificent home-and handsome, foreign husband, the president of a soft drink company-are symbols of that status. The seventeen rooms are filled with German-made furnishings; there are sprawling gardens and even an old zoo where the family's pygmy hippopotamus resides. The family is just as beguiling as their mansion-Tomoko's dignified and devoted aunt, her German grandmother, and her dashing, charming uncle who confidently sits as the family's patriarch. At the center of the family is Tomoko's cousin Mina, a precocious, asthmatic girl of thirteen who draws Tomoko into an intoxicating world full of secret crushes and elaborate storytelling. In this elegant jewel box of a book, Yoko Ogawa invites us to witness a powerful and formative interlude in Tomoko's life, which she looks back on briefly from adulthood at the novel's end.? Behind the family's sophistication are complications that Tomoko struggles to understand-her uncle's mysterious absences, her German grandmother's experience of WWII, and her aunt's misery. Rich with the magic and mystery of youthful experience, Mina's Matchbox is an evocative snapshot of a moment frozen in time-and a striking depiction of a family on the edge of collapse"--Provided by publisher.

"Once there was magic in Britain. There were shape shifters and dragons and wizards and kings that pulled swords out of stones and green knights. But now the doors to The Otherworld have closed, and all the magic is gone. Young Hag and her grandmother, Ancient Crone, are the last of the witches in Britain though they don't have powers. Their magic was taken away by a generations-old curse--at least, that's what Ancient Crone has always told her. But Young Hag doesn't believe in it. If magic is real, why couldn't it save her mother's life? Young Hag is sick of her Grandmother's stories of family curses, faerie doors, lost magic, and ancient swords. But then one day they find an abandoned baby in the woods and realize it's a changeling. Confronted with real magic at last, Young Hag has no choice but to believe. She must get the changeling baby and the mythical sword Excalibur back through the last faerie door before it closes forever. As Young Hag travels through an ever-weirder landscape, we meet a variety of characters: The Green Knight, The Lady of The Lake, Merlin, Taliesin The Bard, and even Morgan Le Fay. But when faced with magic and myth, does Young Hag have any chance of succeeding and bringing back her family's magic? Or is she doomed to become just another tragic tale?"--Provided by publisher.

"Danny Timmons has looked up to Jack Bailey ever since Jack saved two small children from drowning during the Great Flood of 1940. Now, with his father away fighting in World War II and his mother about to have a new baby, Danny relies on Jack's friendship and guidance more than ever. So when Jack goes missing without a trace from their small Appalachian town, Danny is determined to find him. He wonders if Jack's abusive father could be behind his disappearance, or if it has anything to do with Yonder--a hidden magical town Jack once spoke of, where flocks of rainbow birds fly through the sky and they've never heard of war. As answers elude him, Danny begins to fear that he didn't know Jack as well as he thought. Ultimately, Danny's investigation forces him to reckon with even larger questions: What is America fighting for in this war? What role do each of us play in stopping injustices, big and small? And is there such thing as a true hero?"--Amazon.
