  Fairy tales told around the fire on Christmas Eve—including “The Light Princess,” “The Shadows,” “The Golden Key,” and “The Giant’s Heart.”   Reminiscent of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, MacDonald’s attempt to package a collection of short stories in the guise of a novel is built around a group of snowbound travelers attempting to pass the time in a country house by sharing stories in hopes of distracting young Adela Cathcart from her illness. Early in his career, MacDonald was trying different genres and storytelling methods, and this is a prime example of his creative experimentation. First published in 1865, the included stories changed with a new edition in 1882. Some of MacDonald’s well-known short stories made their first appearance in one of the two editions. This new publication from Michael Phillips includes the best from both original editions.

  Homecoming by Miguel Hidalgo - What lasts forever? Does love? Does death?... Nothing lasts forever.... Not even forever... 
  When I discovered this story I knew I had to narrate it, and that was before I discovered that it was written by a 15 year old descendant of Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of America. Bolivar led what are currently the countries of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Panama and Bolivia to independence from the Spanish Empire. 
  Homecoming appeared in If Worlds of Science Fiction magazine and they had this to say, “It’s a story that might have come from one of America’s more mature and experienced writers. Our assumption at first was that it did. But we were wrong. It’s a “first published” story (in America) by a young man named Miguel Hidalgo who is all of 15 years old. At first we didn't believe it, but it was confirmed and we found ourselves with not only a “first” but one that was written by the youngest writer (to our knowledge) ever to break into science fiction.” 
  Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Miguel came to the United States, in a basket, at the age of two months. Began writing poetry at the age of five and before he was ten he had published numerous short stories as well as poetry. He traveled the world with his mother, who was one of the first women diplomats from Venezuela to the United States.
