Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories Paperback - 2006
by Garth Nix
Return to the world of the bestselling Abhorsen trilogy with this brand-new novella from Garth Nix. The book also includes 12 diverse short stories, from a grittily urban Hansel and Gretel tale to a heartbreaking story of children and war.
Summary
First line
I have explored Ancelstierre and the Old Kingdom a little in my novels Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen, and in the process I have found out (for that's often what it feels like, even though I'm the one making it up) quite a lot about these lands, the people and creatures that inhabit them, and their stories.
From the rear cover
Nicholas Sayre will do anything to get across the Wall
Thoughts of Lirael and Sam haunt his dreams, and he has come to realize that his destiny lies with them, in the Old Kingdom. But here in Ancelstierre, Nick faces an obstacle that is not entirely human, with a strange power that seems to come from Nicholas himself.
With "Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case," Garth Nix continues to explore the magical world of the Abhorsen Trilogy. In additional short stories that range from two widely different takes on the Merlin myth to a gritty urban version of Hansel and Gretel and a heartbreaking story of children and war, Garth Nix displays the range and versatility that has made him one of today's leading writers of fantasy for readers of all ages.
