"Whimsy and malice--yes--also mystery, a very female sensuality,
and wit. An elegant and entertaining book."
--Ursula K. Le Guin
"The tales are beautifully written, elegant, passionate, funny,
and moving. The entire collection is a delightful, magical bridge
across cultures. I hope many readers find their way to it."
--Patricia A. McKillip
"Noted short story author Foster offers a dozen enchanting and
sometimes chilling tales alive with elegantly sketched characters
and sensibilities drawn from Asian folklore . . . Readers who long
for a break from European medieval fantasy will be charmed and
entertained by Foster's tales."
--Publishers Weekly
Enchantment, peril and romance pervade the shadowy Far East,
from the elegant throne room of the emperor's palace to the humble
teahouse of a peasant village. In these dozen stories of adventure
and magic from the Orient, a maiden encounters an "oni" demon in
the forest, a bride discovers her mother-in-law is a fox woman, a
samurai must appease his sister's angry ghost, strange luck is
found in a jade locket, and dark and light are two sides of
harmony.
A striking debut collection from Eugie Foster.
